RE: Story subject: Predictions of major issues President Obama will discuss during the State of the Union Address
Date: January 23, 2014
Subject: I will predict topics and issues the president will discuss during the State of the Union Address on Tuesday, January 28, 2014. I will base my predictions off of research I conduct from previous State of the Union Addresses and political issues today.
Need: This column will help readers become more knowledgeable of the address itself as well as the issues our country faces today. The reader will be aware of the goals of the president and the possible steps to achieve these goals. This address is given every year and gives citizens a glimpse of where the country is headed. The issues and topics the president will discuss will effect all citizens, therefore all citizens should be knowledgeable of these topics.
Scope: I plan on reporting the issues the country is facing and relay that into predictions of what the president will discuss. I will also report the president's stance on these issues based on my research and information from previous addresses.
Methods: Research will be based off of internet websites and articles found through scholarly databases.
Sources: My research is based on previous addresses given by Barack Obama.
Other research includes op-ed columns from reputable authors, articles
on reputable political websites and news topics frequently discussed on
reputable news stations and/or websites.
Presentation: My series will be one op-ed column based on the lengths of other op-ed columns from the New York Times and/or The Washington Post. There will be text with no pictures or graphics.
Follow-Up: I plan on responding to my column by tweeting and blogging after the State of the Union Address. These responses will be based off of the accuracy of my predictions and the major issues discussed by the president.
