State of the Union
Hi!
State of the Union extra credit!
Pick a portion of the State of the Union - an issue, an example, etc. Write about the example, and say whether it was effective or not.
Rule: if more than two people have commented on the issue, you have to pick a new issue.

Your thoughts on the Arizona Shooting Speeches
So in class we watched President Obama's speech about the tragedy, and part of Sarah Palin's speech (you can watch the last two minutes on your own). I also assigned the link about some of the political rhetoric in Palin's speech.
Write about 200-250 words comparing the two speeches - talk about the style of the two speakers, their substance, and their delivery. Talk about how you felt as an audience member. Think about what we talked about in class as far as speaker credibility... Pick out some specific details in the speeches to talk about!!
You can post your comments underneath this post in the comments section. You may have to register with blogger.
