Lesson Plan by Jade Gordon
Grade Level: 4th Grade

Summary: This lesson serves as a portion of a bigger immigration unit. This particular lesson is guided by two focus questions. The first question asks students to think about what steps are needed in order for immigrants to be granted citizenship in the United States of America. The following question asks students the question of whether or not it is difficult to gain citizenship, why or why not. Through this lesson, students will be able to gain a greater understanding as to what undocumented citizens must do in order to be granted citizenship in the United States. Rather than learning through texts, students will research and present individual steps needed during the road to citizenship. This lesson can be beneficial in all schools yet more so in urban areas that have students from a myriad of countries. Not only are these students learning essential information, but also information that pertains to their personal lives.
