Using Spark Page or Spark Video, document the process by creating twelve tweets that explain what you have gone through. Each tweet should include the tweet itself, an image, and a hashtag(s) that help explain what you are going through.
Be sure to include the steps that you must take to gain admittance to the United States and the requirements for naturalization. Your tweets should be in the correct chronological order. The video and link below will help you learn about each process. Please e-mail me your work when you are done. This activity is worth 24 points. Goldilocks and entry to the United States
