All, your assignment tonight was to watch the "State of the Union Address". After you have done this, please click the link below and read the article enclosed. It is a fascinating study on how the words used during the "State of the Union" reflects the cultural and political climate of a given time period. Please choose at least five different presidents and answer the question "What does the frequency with which this word was used during the State of the Union indicate about the audience for the speech and the context in which it was delivered?" Leave your answers in the comments.
Thanks.
