Mary Emma’s Writing Tip – What Did You Think of the Inauguration?

Writing Tip

Since the Inauguration of Barak Obama as 44th President of the United States was the highlight of the news this past week, perhaps you’d like to write something about it.  This could take many forms:

• If you actually traveled to Washington and attended the Inauguration ceremonies (and some youngsters I know did this with their families), you might like to write a journal of your experience, along with photos and souvenirs.
• If you watched it on TV, either at school or at home…or in some other location, you could write about this.
• You could express your opinion about whether you agree or disagree with Mr. Obama as President.  Are you in agreement or are you concerned about his policies? 
• If you watched the Inauguration, what was your favorite part?
• Perhaps you’ve been interested in his daughters and the experiences they as someone close to your age have been having.  You could research and write about them.
• Why did Mr. Obama ride in a train to Washington, like Abraham Lincoln did? 
• You can read a book about Mr. Obama and give a book report or book review.

I have a list of books about Obama & the Presidency you could research and review.

Here are some Resources about Abraham Lincoln.

Do you have some other ideas for writing about the Inauguration?
