1.
K-12 Civic Learning
Opportunities State of the Union STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS The address will be January 25, 2011 at 9:00 PM. It will be televised on major networks and news channels. The text is usually printed the next morning in the newspaper, and the video available online. Kids Voting Mecklenburg will post the text and video on its Civic Learning Center, www.kidsvotingcharlotte.org (also accessible from the main website www.kidsvoting.org). What is the State of the Union Address? The State of the Union is an annual address presented before a joint session of Congress and held in the House of Representatives Chamber at the U.S. Capitol. The address reports on the nation, and allows the President to outline his legislative agenda and national priorities to Congress and the American public. Objective and Activity In this activity, students will watch or read the State of the Union address and think critically about the speech, its content, how it is communicated and how it is reported. A variety of activities are available. Modify based on your grade level or subject area. For example, you can focus students on the community, North Carolina, the United States or another country. Connect this to history, literature or in a global community. Students may watch the State of the Union live, watch it in class or read the text. There are many opportunities for writing, reading, small group discussion and oral presentation. The activity aligns with several core standards. Skills include: • Persuasion • Media literacy • Effective communication • Critical thinking • Collaboration • Family dialogue • Analysis • Civic leadership • Group discussion • Reading • Local and State Government • Connecting historic • Active listening events, personal • Federal • Writing knowledge, current Government events or global life • Civic literacy Kids Voting Mecklenburg K-12 Learning Opportunities: State of the Union Address www.kidsvoting.org © Kids Voting Mecklenburg County
2.
Getting ready What is
the purpose of the State of the Union Address? The State of the Union is an annual address presented before a joint session of Congress and held in the House of Representatives Chamber at the U.S. Capitol. The address reports on the condition of the country, and allows the President to outline his legislative agenda and national priorities to Congress (and the American public). When and where is the State of the Union Address? The address is January 25, 2011 at 9:00 PM. It is televised on major networks and news channels. The text is usually printed the next morning in the newspaper, and the video available online. Kids Voting Mecklenburg will post links to the text and video on its Civic Learning Center www.kidsvotingcharlotte.org, also accessible from the main webpage www.kidsvoting.org. The address is held at the US Capitol, in Washington, DC. It happens each January, after each year of the President’s 4-year term begins on January 20. Who attends? Three branches of the federal government: Executive (President and Cabinet), Legislative (Congress) and Judicial (Supreme Court). At least one important official is selected to not attend. This is so that someone is available in the event something bad happens to the many important leaders who will be meeting in one location. First Lady and Special Guests: often, the President will invite guests who have been newsworthy or who represent a topic he will address. For example, if he plans to talk about education he may invite a teacher. The guests sit in the balcony with the First Lady. What is the ceremony? The State of the Union Address not only provides important information about the President’s goals, it is a ceremonial event that has taken place (in some form) since 1790. The location and method of delivering the speech has changed over the years. • Usually, the members of the House enter and are seated at 8:30PM. • Then the Vice-President and Senate are announced and take their seats. • The Supreme Court Justices and President Cabinet members enter, go to their seats. • At 9, the President is announced. He enters the meeting room, and usually takes some time to shake hands and greet a few people as he makes his way to the podium. People clap and cheer. • Then he delivers the address for about an hour. Kids Voting Mecklenburg K-12 Learning Opportunities: State of the Union Address www.kidsvoting.org © Kids Voting Mecklenburg County
3.
Politics and news
coverage The Vice President and Speaker of the House sit behind the President. It is sometimes interesting to watch their expressions as he speaks. They will also stand up and/or clap and cheer (or stay seated) when the President makes a point they like or don’t like. During the address, the different political parties will stand up and clap and cheer about parts of the speech they agree or disagree with. Often, when one party claps, the other party makes a big deal out of not clapping or standing up – almost as if they were sitting on their hands to symbolize that they do not agree! In 2011, it has been proposed that the attendees not sit by political party or stand and clap during key points in the speech, to symbolize their bipartisanship. Watch how the media covers the State of the Union address, including before the speech, the discussions afterward, and the news reporting the next day. After the State of the Union address, the opposing party (this year the Republicans, because the President is a Democrat) will issue their response. This is usually televised immediately after the State of the Union, and made available by text and video online. Topics in the State of the Union Address The President may cover a variety of topics such as: • Afterschool • Health • Pre-K Education Programs • Housing • Research • Children/ Youth • Jobs • Safety • Cities • Justice • Taxes • College • K-12 Education • Technology • Economy • Leadership • Terrorism • Environment • Military • Working together • Global issues • NASA • Government • Politics Kids Voting Mecklenburg K-12 Learning Opportunities: State of the Union Address www.kidsvoting.org © Kids Voting Mecklenburg County

Write your own State of the Union Address, and share it with your class. Pick and predict Before you watch or read the address, decide which 1-3 topics are most important to you. Then decide which 1-3 topics you predict the President will talk about. Are they the same or different? Why? Watch or read the address. Were your topics covered? How many times?
