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?

I heard Reverend Wright's Trumpet Magazine will also be required reading for the children, & Van Jones will be at many of the viewings passing out little hammers & sickles to the young ones.

The backlash…..
By Chelsea Schilling
© 2009 WorldNetDaily

Parents are outraged after a Utah elementary school showed a video to schoolchildren. The video, titled "I Pledge" and produced by Demi Moore, features more than 50 Hollywood celebrities who offer their support for President Obama's policies.

"I Pledge" opens with a popular depiction of Obama. The president states, "Let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other."

The following are some of the more controversial pledges:

<DIR><DIR>I pledge allegiance to the funk of the united funk of funkadelica
I have no idea what the funk that means.

I pledge to never give anyone the finger when I'm driving again
OK, fairly sound advise

I pledge to advance stem-cell research
Not sure how a school student is supposed to accomplish that.

To reduce my use of plastic … use less bottled water … plant 500 trees this year … to be more green … to no longer use plastic bags at the grocery store
Yea, those are thing that are a priority for every school student. I especially like the “plant 500 trees”, the average kid won’t even clean his/her own room.

For the #environment, I plan to flush only after deuce, never a single
I can’t figure out if that means only after 2 turds but not 1 or never flush after you take a leak.

I pledge to sell my obnoxious car and buy a hybrid
I’m speechless on this one.

I pledge to be of service to Barack Obama
This is about as arrogant as you can get. He was elect president, not king. He serves the people, the people do not serve him.

</DIR></DIR>The video also asks viewers to visit Serve.gov and sign up for a community service project.
