I think some are underestimating the intelligence of these children...


Ladylid,

It's for grades K-6. They don't have long attention spans.

My child has watched a debate and a speech and has been to a health care rally and seen the inauguration at school. My kid gets sooo bored. lol


My boys are much older and still don't have the attention span to sit through something like that...kids that age are still influenced by their parents opinions. I don't think this is going to have the impact most think it will. Except on the parents..it will give them more to fight about.


I agree. I also honestly don't think there's anything to use for influencing. It sounds like a social studies/politics session to me.

These are the questions for the teachers to think about doing:

Description

President Obama’s Address to Students Across America September 8, 2009
PreK-6 Menu of Classroom Activities: President Obama’s Address to Students Across America
Produced by Teaching Ambassador Fellows, U.S. Department of Education
September 8, 2009

Before the Speech:

• Teachers can build background knowledge about the President of the United States and his speech by reading books about presidents and Barack Obama and motivate students by asking the following questions:

Who is the President of the United States?

What do you think it takes to be President?

To whom do you think the President is going to be speaking?

Why do you think he wants to speak to you?

What do you think he will say to you?

• Teachers can ask students to imagine being the President delivering a speech to all of the students in the United States. What would you tell students? What can students do to help in our schools? Teachers can chart ideas about what they would say.

• Why is it important that we listen to the President and other elected officials, like the mayor, senators, members of congress, or the governor? Why is what they say important?

During the Speech:

• As the President speaks, teachers can ask students to write down key ideas or phrases that are important or personally meaningful. Students could use a note-taking graphic organizer such as a Cluster Web, or students could record their thoughts on sticky notes. Younger children can draw pictures and write as appropriate.

As students listen to the speech, they could think about the following:

What is the President trying to tell me?
What is the President asking me to do?
What new ideas and actions is the President challenging me to think about?
• Students can record important parts of the speech where the President is asking them to do something. Students might think about: What specific job is he asking me to do? Is he asking anything of anyone else? Teachers? Principals? Parents? The American people?


That's basic stuff.

Great.
That's the outline. Not the content of the speech.

Over the last 15 months, we've traveled to every corner of the United States. I've now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.

Considering the blatant mistakes you have made in this forum you really don't have much room to talk, Willing. The outline should at least give you a hint.

When I hade kids in my house, I was vigilant and involved, as best I could, in what they were exposed to.
It is our Parental Right to know the exact content of the entire speech.
On the other hand, BHO with his lack of knowledge of US history and management experiance will be what shows them why it's important to stay in school.

That's what it will be after the rewrite.
BHO took his spanking and was sent back to redo his boo-boo.

Question;
Why didn't he tell everyone to bite him and go with the planned script??

I leave this thread (for now, at least) with a quote by the late, great H.L. Mencken:

"The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States, whatever pretensions of politicians, pedagogues other such mountebanks, and that is its aim everywhere else…. Their purpose, in brief, is to make docile and patriotic citizens, to pile up majorities, and to make John Doe and Richard Doe as nearly alike, in their everyday reactions and ways of thinking, as possible."

Then let's just shut down all of the schools and home school all of the kids. That'll be just great.:thumbsup: noway
