Below are linked documents for each section of the full transcript from CNN.com of the 2015 State of the Union address.
http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/20/politics/state-of-the-union-2015-transcript-full-text/ Instructions: As we watch the State of the Union address, read along. Insert comments and questions. Realize, the President (like any politician) will make their case using evidence that favors their beliefs and statistics that make their policies look successful. Because of that, consider checking a fact checking website that scrutinizes the speech (and other political speeches) like FactCheck.org: http://www.factcheck.org/2015/01/factchecking-obamas-state-of-the-union/ Feel free to research further using your Chromebooks as we watch too. --- Insert at least one original and meaningful comment, one question, and one meaningful response to someone else's comment or question. Section 1 (Say no to Emaad) Section 2 (Demba Ba) Section 3 (Yeet) Section 4 (Food, Naps, and Netflix) Section 5 (Nyeaaaaah!) Given that Martin Luther King Jr. Day is this coming Monday and given the climate of our country has created some protests getting considerable attention in the past few years, it seems important you begin to consider the concept of protest.
PROTEST (noun): an expression or declaration of objection, disapproval, or dissent, often in opposition to something a person is powerless to prevent or avoid. In small groups that I will assign in class, one member of the group needs to open the spreadsheet below and share it with your group members. PROTEST (group discussion) Once every group member has the file opened there are three sheets on the spreadsheet. Step 1: On the first sheet you will have 10 minutes to consider 2 important questions:
Realize, these are separate things to consider. For example, appropriate protests may not be considered effective. Or, effective protests may not be considered appropriate. After working individually you will have some time to talk as a group about these questions and, perhaps, find a consensus. Step 2: You will then have an opportunity to spend some time on your Chromebooks researching various protests. The second sheet is the place to document some basic elements of your sources and what info you get from the source. Step 3: Finally, on the third sheet you have an opportunity to argue what you think is the 'greatest' protest in history and answer some basic questions surrounding that protest. Most importantly probably, you need to explain why that protest is so 'great'. Topic 1: Senate torture reportRead the article, insert ON THE DOC at least 1 substantive and meaningful comment, 1 question, and 1 response to someone else's question or comment. Topic 2: Wealth Inequality, Perception vs. RealityAs you watch this video, reflect on how you feel and what you think about this topic. Do more research as you ask more questions or seek to answer other people's questions in the blog comments below. Remember to have 1 original comment, 1 question about the topic of income inequality, and 1 response to someone else's question or comment. Remember, these should be substantive and meaningful thoughts. Topic 3: New York Times Military Budget Puzzle |
