VI. Anticipatory Set
a. Today boys and girls we will be discussing how to become a citizen of the United
States. Remember yesterday when you looked at a map that showed you all of the
different places that immigrants came from? We will discuss the process that the
immigrants had to go through to become a citizen when they came through Ellis
Island or Angel Island! We will then compare the steps that immigrants must go
through in today’s society! Let’s start off the lesson by saying something all
citizens of the United States know. Can anyone take a guess at what that is? (T
waits for student response) The Pledge of Allegiance! If you can’t remember it
word for word I will play the words on the SmartBoard for you.
