What You’ll / They’ll Do:
[1] Anticipating what’s in H-02.04 English Through Citizenship, Beginning Level Student Book, look over its Front Matter and Table of Contents. Note that its Subject Matter is divided into 12 “Units,” each further separated into up to five four-page “Modules” of material. If you are particularly interested in a topic, jump ahead to its pages. Otherwise, start at the beginning.
[2] Unit 1: The Residency or Citizenship Interview (pages 1-20), contains Module 1A: Name & Address; Module 1B: Biographic & Other Information; Module 1C: Family; Module 1D: Employment, & Module 1E: Residence. If you are just starting a Course of Instruction, these may be useful in getting acquainted, filling out (application) forms, and/or other preliminaries. Suggestions from H-02.05: English Through Citizenship, Beginning-Level Instructor’s Manual . may help—or you can use your own (tried-and-true or innovative) procedures.
[3] Unit 2: Symbols & Holidays (pages 21-32) “warms-up” with topics even Beginners are likely to be familiar with: iconic American Symbols in Module 2A—plus Thanksgiving & Independence Day in 2B. Module 2C gets into (lesser-known) National Holidays. Unit 3, Module 3A on pages 33-36 offers vocabulary, information, and reading-comprehension exercises about “Famous U.S. Presidents”; Module 3B on pages 37-40, “The History of Immigration”; and Module 3C on pages 41-44, “Historical Figures.” In regard to “U.S. Geography,” Unit 4, Modules 4A, 4B, 4C, & 4D on pages 45-60 introduce Geographical Features, Famous Places, and States & Cities: the West / the East. Unit 5, Module 5A (pages 61-64), presents notions related to “Becoming a Citizen.”
[4] Units 6-12 introduce topics not mentioned in H-02.01: English Through Citizenship, Literacy Level Student Book.

Unit 11, Module 11A: About Your State on pages 89-92 uses Important Past Events in California as examples.
