Inauguration Extra Credit.
As you watch the Inauguration consider the following questions.
1. Is this a truly important event in itself? Why?
2. How has the election of Barack Obama affected you?
3. What are your reactions to his Inaugural Address?
a. What was his most important message? Do you agree?
b. What important area(s) do you think he should have addressed but did not?
c. What are some of the specific things he has called for?
d. As you listened to President Obama’s speech, did you feel that he was talking to
everyone or were his comments aimed at a specific audience?
e. Do you think the people who did not vote for President Obama will change their views after hearing this speech?
4. If, in four years, President Obama is re-elected what will be the most important reason?
5. If, in four years, President Obama is not re-elected what will be the most important reason?
For up to 15 extra credit points write up your reaction to the inauguration and speech. The final paper should be in paragraph form, grammatically correct, and, preferably, typed. They are due by Friday morning. I will tape the ceremony and will have it available for viewing starting after school.
