Ten-Week Course Outline
One official section a week, the reading and writing vocabulary alongside, and the interview rehearsed scene by scene until the final mock. Each week names the handout to print and the pages students use at home.
How to use it
- Civics follows the official sections in order. The long section is split in two so no week carries more than about 25 questions.
- Reading and writing take one vocabulary category a week from the official USCIS lists, then review. Writing means dictation: say the sentence, students write it.
- Interview practice uses the role-play script scene by scene, so by week ten students have rehearsed every part of the real appointment at least twice.
