Presidential Speeches

Here's a great resource for US History teachers. Speech teachers may also enjoy taking a look -This is a very cool representation of US Presidential inauguration speeches.

Governing Dynamo has built a gallery containing the text of every US President's inaugural address(es). In addition to the text, the gallery includes a Wordle(yipee!!) of every address and an image of the President who delivered that address. Finally, Governing Dynamo hosts a video overview of the Wordles in the gallery. The video contains audio clips of the addresses.


What a perfect piece of information this is for US History and or speech teachers. You could have students evaluate the text , and/or evauate the Wordles for a reflection of the issues facing the United States when each President took office.





Thanks to Richard Byrne for this great information!
