Homework for Tuesday, January 23 is to watch President Bush's State of the Union Address. When I checked the website for CBS.com, the time listed is 6 p.m. tomorrow on Channel 5. He'll be on all the channels though. Listen to the analysis afterwards too. I like to listen to KPFA radio, 94.1 FM.

As you're listening to the speech, take notes. Use these notes as evidence to support your responses to the questions.

Now consider the following questions:

What were the salient elements of this speech? What was its purpose? Was the speech organized in such a way that you could easily discern what he was trying to prove? Explain.

Was the evidence sufficient and effective?

Do you agree with his claims?

Was there anything he failed to cover that you were waiting to hear? If so, what was this?

Talk about the delivery. Was the president calm, poised, confident, nervous.... How do you know this?

Be prepared to share your 250 word essay response with classmates on Wednesday.

I think that president Bush did not really talk about the things that were important. All he talked about was the war. How we should increase our troops and even try to get regular people to help, but not really be in the army. While our people here are suffering all he can think of is how to get more people to enlist in the army. The topics that should off been talked about Health Plans, Energy, and Immigration. He talked a little about it but not much. I must say that I was a disappointed in his speech.

Bush had say about the Iraq strategy, the reduce gas consumption 20% over 10 years, and also the tax deduction for health insurance. Additionally, it is about how the global warming may present a new danger for New Orleans. And the consumers can cut prescription costs by searching the internet. However, this speech is actually about the war in Iraq. How he wants to defend the military built-up in Iraq. He just wants to get our taxes all something like war. He didn’t think about helping us or nothing. All he wants is to sent more people to there and get killed. Just like one of my classmate had said.
