Materials Needed • A presidential or other political figure's speech. In your research, attempt to find an audio or video file of this
speech. Hint: Inauguration speeches are often recorded and have accompanying editorials. They are a primary
source.
• Two editorials reviewing the speech you selected. These are a secondary source.
Expectations of Your Project:
This is a short research project in which you will explore the impact of perspective on historic events. After your research,
write a five-paragraph response to the speech and the critiques you found.
• In the introduction, explain how perspective has or could influence the speech. Make sure you include your claim
in the thesis statement.
• The conclusion lists any discrepancies between the two editorials and your overall finding about perspective.
• The middle three body paragraphs summarize the speech and each of the two editorials.
