Description
Who is a Citizen? What is citizenship? This Who Is a Citizen? Article & Review makes a great introduction to Civics and Citizenship for your middle school Civics or American Government class. Students close-read an article introducing the concepts of Civics, Citizenship, the 14th Amendment, Law of Soil and Law of Blood, the Naturalization Process, refugees, and both legal and illegal aliens. They then complete a worksheet that reviews the article, asking about key concepts and vocabulary.
