Homework for Thursday, January 21
I almost forgot.
Bring in an annotated copy of Obama's Inaugural address. Identify 4-10 arguments and the evidence or support. You can write on the document. You do not have to write the arguments on a separate sheet of paper. You can write right on the newspaper article--whatever is easiest for you.
An argument is a debatable claim. It could be a claim of policy, a claim of value or a claim of fact. The way you find the evidence is add the word because at the end of the statement. Because points to the evidence.
So and so is true because..."EVIDENCE."
The President's Inauguration speech is at http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090120/ap_on_go_pr_wh/inauguration_obama_text
This is just a cool recap of Inaugural events: http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/20/obama.inauguration/index.html

Inagural Address Arguments
In Brack's speech he mentioned the word "us". Bascically we all have to him change the nation but we cant if people dont care and dont know how to act. First we have to help our selves and change the way we feel about things then come together and change will progress.
He also had a statement about "our founding fathers" and a quote from the constitution...." drafted a charter to assure the rule of the law and the rights of man, charter expanded by the blood of generations". That was written by George Washington in the 1700's when there were still slaves. When he wrote " to assure the rule of the law and the rights of man" he literally meant man, the white man. Women were'nt even mentioned. So, there were slaves and women had no say in anything. I dont understand why Barack would put that in his speech.
