All-time Greatest Panel
This project was one of those
projects where you have to do a major research in order to teach yourself and
be prepared. The All-time Greatest Panel consisted of a panel discussing
President Obama's State of the Union Address incorporating a slight twist: we
all represented a different character from any time or place of history. In
class, we listened and read Obama's speech, analyzed the differences between
Republicans and Democrats, researched our character and wrote an opening
statement for the panel as if we were that character. We also watched videos of
other panels with different styles, that way we got a feel of what a panel
looks like and how prepared we have to be for one. My partner and I were
assigned Ronald Reagan. As a class we were assigned a character graphic
organizer to get to know our character, and an analogy graphic organizer to
understand how our character would've reacted to the situation, based on
his/her points of views.
Opening Statement:
Being the 40th president of the United States Of America, I've always wanted what is best for our country. So when Barack Obama began to talk about: the minimization of taxes, the end to threats of terrorism to our country and its allies, and the new forms of regulations towards immigrants moving into our country. That's when I learned that the current state of the union was strong.
Based on what I have read on the state of the Union, the future of this country rely on three of my observations.
Number one, I would like to thank you all for taking my great idea of air drones all around the world, and expanding your search of terrorism with these drones by adding many more in the skies. It just warms my heart to know that the B-1 Lancer program I revived during the Cold war, has gone such a long way. “I guarantee you America!” that these drones will minimize the rates of terrorism all around the world, and help make our country a better and safer place.
Second, I am glad you have followed in my foot steps in hope of making this country a better place for everyone worldwide. By allowing immigrants who have already lived in America to prosper and possibly have an opportunity to become an American citizen. During my term as president I signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act in 1982. Now me signing this, did not mean I would be pro for employers to bring illegal immigrants to the US for jobs but, rather that Act was designed for the immigrants already living in our country at the time, and wanted the opportunity of a new life.
Finally, i would like to leave you, the people of this beautiful country and Obama with a warning. It seems that Obama is promising you an end of sanctions against Cuba. Now this is what I say to this. “ I worked almost my entire presidency making sure we sanctioned Cuban merchandise away from the United States due to the Soviet-Cuban military build up that was going on during my presidency.” So all I have to say is to be extra precautions before handling with this sensitive matter, that we Americans have been so accustomed for many years now.
Thank You
and God bless America

Reflection
Overall, I really enjoyed this project since it involved research and
self-teaching, which are two things I like. I did learn a lot, not only about
Ronald Reagan, but also about the State of the Union and how every single
change on the economy system can have a huge impact on unimaginable things. Even
though I learned about various topics, I feel like we didn't cover all of them
during the panel. Still, we had the opportunity to discuss other things in
class with our different points of views, including historical characters'
points of views.
