Becoming a Citizen
by Sarah De Capua
Review by Emily
A citizen is a member of a country, like the United States. If you were born or naturalized in the United States, then you are a citizen. In Becoming a Citizen by Sarah De Capua, you learn about who can become a citizen and what it means to be one as well. There are two ways that you can become a citizen; birth and naturalization.
If you are born in the United States, then you are a citizen. However, if you were born in another country and you want to become a citizen, you can be naturalized. Naturalization is the process of becoming a citizen by going through a series of tests. In order to be naturalized, you must be at least eighteen years old, but if you are under eighteen, an adult can submit an application for you. You also need to have a green card to prove you live here legally. In most cases you have to have lived in the Untied States for at least five years before you can start the process.

Did I like this book? Of course I did - it's civics! I think anyone from grades 3 - 8 would enjoy this book if they are interested in the subject. Students in 8th grade should read this book because this is what you learn about in civics class, and it could be a great review.
Latricia:In the first nine weeks we learn about becoming a citizen and how you have to go through steps by steps.

ReplyDeleteThank you. Now I understand that becoming a citizen requires you to born in the united states or by someone taking the naturalization test, if you were not born in the USA. I also understand the procedures of Naturalization. -Akiera
