A great activity for any US History Class is to have the students answer some questions that are on the INS Citizenship Test. You can visit this link to get more questions: http://usgovinfo.about.com/blinstst.htm.
The following questions are used with 9th grade students in a US History I course.
It might be worthwhile to create a list of top scores, a Hall of Fame, of students who answer the most questions correctly.
