Can one be taken without the other? I don't know the answer, but have the feeling they are more intertwined.

I still can't get over the immediate pivot to attacking Obama and Clinton. I realize that Trump is all about not being "politically correct," but to pass over the immediate tragedy and those affected by it in such a perfunctory way just seems to evidence is egomania.

Ethos!

Is that what they say? Seems a generous recouching of the critiques of, say, racism.

While we're at it, let's annotate the original "Declaration of Sentiments."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqH_0LPVoho

No better place or person for Cruz to affirm his evangelical position in the 2016 election.

Speeches like this are often given in symbolic locations. Clinton is on her own turf--nearly a year later she would win the New York primary.

But the United Nations reference and background here further symbolize the fact that Clinton has extensive political experience--primarily as secretary of state.

Speeches are often made at symbolic spaces--like Obama's "A More Perfect Union" delivered steps from the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. If this location is symbolic of anything, perhaps it's Trump's egotism.

While this is no doubt a rhetorical move--no one running can president can really be that humble--this is a stark contrast from Trump who announced his candidacy in front of cameras at a building named after himself.

These are preventable. That seems to be the message. Jill Stein is well suited to a year when Flint is still a boiling cauldron.

As soon as a job becomes routine enough to describe in a spec sheet, it becomes vulnerable to outsourcing.

Diction is able to be seen at the very beginning of the sentence when "as soon as" is first stated. That phrase alone is encouraging the reader to not only consider a new concept, but to actually come to terms with it being the truth. "routine enough" is also used to show that one does not need to be a professional nor do they need to be an expert to describe it in a spec sheet. Lastly, "become is used for the second time to emphasize the fact that it WILL happen. Afterwards, "vulnerable to outsourcing" is placed last and primarily chosen carefully to show that vulnerable in terms of loss is expressed with a negative connotation and outsourcing is being approached as something awful.

Here's the video of Reagan's "Time for Choosing":

And here's the annotatable transcript.

This really hits at what's so scary about Trump (for me). It's the hatred that Trump seems to thrive off. He brings out the worst in people and amplifies it.

Just for fun, here's an annotatable transcript of Bill Pullman's speech from the movie Independence Day. It might be kind of interesting to look at this Hollywood version of a Presidential speech and answer this question as well.

Isn't this always the case though?

I have no idea what that means, but I rather like the turn of phrase!

Did you know that the musical Hamilton dramatizes Washington's decision not to run for president and the writing of this speech? Here's an annotated version of the lyrics at Genius and a lyric video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahJ-tN0Uj4s

Check out this sketch from Saturday Night Live that mocks the news media for being uncritically in love with then candidate Barack Obama. There first and second questions for him are whether he is completely comfortable or if they can get anything for him.

Stephen Colbert invented this term on the debut episode of his satirical political talk show, The Colbert Report.

When this teacher asks her class to annotate online about an equity issue, the students are working in an environment where they might encounter public feedback and also influence public opinion.

As the intro from Vox above points out, this is a clear call out to the most famous and loved conservative politician in the last 100 years: Ronald Reagan. Cruz plays on the phrase from Reagan's 1984 campaign advertisement, "Morning in America":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU-IBF8nwSY

Here, for example, is how Washington Post reporter Aaron Blake annotated the 7th Republican debate using Genius's annotation tool.

From Merriam-Webster:

So, in this case the event will involve a great deal of annotation!

Folks, like Molly Ball of The Atlantic had fun with this one on Twitter:

You can watch the video of the speech below or here in this annotation:

It might seem odd to celebrate a candidate's lack of experience for a job--it would stand to reason that a experienced politician would be a good choice for the next president--Palin here plays on the rhetoric that Washington/the political system is "broken" and needs someone from outside it's corrupt influences to fix it.

One of Palin's signature lines:

The NYTimes's Michael Barbaro described this as "This is perhaps the most accurate statement in her speech."

So America is great but also needs to be made great again? It mystifies me that the whole rhetoric around the lost greatness of the country doesn't get labeled anti-American.

Here's one of those with money in search of greater control.

MLK quote from Nobel Speech 1964. Lots of powerful turns at end well worth studying.

An image of Alice Paul appeared next to the video feed on wh.gov when Obama spoke these lines:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Paul

Significant increases in the number of people who vote seems the easiest way to bring about change and also seems possible given the recent shifts. Stats pulled from "What would it take to turn red states blue?" on Fivethirtyeight.com

I am glad to see a reference to what I consider our largest national embarrassment. Our prison population and how many men of color we lock up.

He really address the room here. I don't remember such a direct, sincere address of the house/senate as this in my SOTU listening.

He really address the room here. I don't remember such a direct, sincere address of the house/senate as this in my SOTU listening.

at least the third direct or indirect reference to Lincoln

He actually added the lines "more perfect union" here live. He of course gave a famous campaign speech in 2008 centered around those lines.

This is straight from ym the Bernie Sanders playbook.

Based on precedent money=speech. The government can not tell someone how to spend their money.

This would take a constitutional amendment or grassroots efforts at the state level.

What would also help would have been scientific methods of sampling for the census but a literal read of the constitution does not allow this....

sort of like drone strikes?

Recent statistics I read in the NYTimes. Number of ISIS fighters in 2014 = 30,000. Number of fighters killed in air strikes in 2015 = 25,000. Number of ISIS fighters at the end of 2015 = 30,000. New math? 30 - 25 = 30? (And only 6 non-combatants were killed the U.S. claims.)

Ask the wedding party in Yemen...oh wait you can't b ecause you aithorized drones to kill them.

Infographics next to video on wh.gov are pretty cool. Visually rhetorically support Obama's points.

Have you compared either our physical infrastructure (crumbling) or our digital (monopolized and non-existent)

So refreshing to hear a thoughtful person speak about these issues.

Is this nuance lost on most Americans?

And capital gains taxed at a far lower rate than the income of lower and middle class.

Nothing is going to happen on taxes until the next census. Gerrymandering after 20110 was just to deep a red cut.

The only tax reform Paul Ryan will take is a txt cut.

Seems a jab at Trumps's "Make America Great Again."

another issue--doing so without killing our economy.

Ever need inspiration about youth? Check out their work on climate change on Youth Voices: http://youthvoices.net/search/node/climate

Stakes are low.

A reference to Net Neutrality. But is it open enough? Or how exactly is the word "open" being used here?

Woot!

How do these compare to Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms"?

Backhand to global climate change deniers.

Maybe with annotation flash mobs. ;)

No, duh.

While critics will claim the gains caused by early childhood ween by third grade I do not see this as an issue. Universal pre-K will be a game changer.

As Obama noted live in an aside, this is not an applause line, but it got a few claps from someone who I'm guessing does not agree with so -called Obama Care and is proud of it. LOL.

Fortune magazine made just his claim last summer. Fortune mag article

The idea that America has had the number one education system in the world is not true. I think our success has always been as being the place the best and brightest want to be.

We are a country built on immigration not our educational system.

no argument there, but what does this support look like?

Laughable lauds for a failed program.

Students and teachers! We're annotating the State of the Union live and in the days that follow here at this link. Join the conversation at any point!

No pressure. Really, this is just a conversation. Respond as you might if you were watching the speech in class. You can ask questions, make comments, and reply to those of others. Feel free to get historical, political, even humorous--you can add GIFs!

It this thinly veiled American Exceptionalism?

Not sure. I do know when I travel abroad you do not see the same "I can crush it" attitude.

Another Trump ref

Is this just another "expert" prediction like Christensen's bogus disruption theories.

from Lincoln's 1862 message to the Senate and House: http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=29503

Is this a veiled attempt at American exceptionalism?

A call out to Trump and "Make America Great Again"

Reference to Trump et al.

Is this a reference to the claims of far-reaching xMOOCs.

Dan Doernberg put the address on NowComment -- another place to comment: https://nowcomment.com/documents/44829/

So conversational! I feel like he's in my living room!!

change as the only constant

Here's a recent assessment of the candidates by a tenth grader: http://youthvoices.net/discussion/our-presidential-candidates-fearful-or-cautious

Alliteration and consonance are under valued rhetorical devices.

They bring power through cadence.

or until December., which ever comes first. I wouldn't take wagers on things getting done.

kidscancode and everyone needs to code mantra comes front and center. Not sure that is our strongest educational priority.

but if Obama has been weak on anythign it has been education.

Low bar problems (it is an election year) and lets not ignore the fact the big pharma has made millions on prescription drug abuse.

Though look at the sentence structure in the paragraph. Sets the bar low and then dangles low hanging fruit with a call to action.

A call back to the election. A preview of #nextprez to start the election

Notice the rhetorical technique. You have the metaphor of turning the page along with the strong "But" as a signal word to start.

Is this an example of 44 passing the blame back on to 4 or simply a statement of reality?

It is quite the negative connotation to start

This is crucial ... and Terry is talking right now about videocasting annotation activity to show the work you are doing (but we do lose real authenticity? Are we annotation for the camera?)

This part I find harder to get my head around. How this make sense and is useful.

I think this is a great point. Readers/annotators can add modern relevance to classic texts.

It is interesting to start with comments and then go to text, different from reading the text and when there is an annotation decide to read. I hate to say, but could be used kind of like cliffnotes?

I love this idea ... particularly in this political season ... prove something right/prove something wrong ...

like this?

Is this for him? Or for the world? You wonder about intention with annotation, and the value of it. Sometimes, I notice annotations get lost in the mix, and I wonder the real value of doing this: is it for me, to better understand? Or to gather with you, to share understanding? Both?

I'm wondering how this mingling with the author changes when it is public annotation. Is it a less intimate reading?

I like Hypothesis and the others here, but none feel like a natural fit for me in terms of conversation. I like this threaded element, but it still feels as if some of the bars for entry and participation leaves some folks out (unintentionally). I think we are making strides, though.

This is also from Henry Jenkins' ideas on Participatory culture and produsage right?

I've found this to be a powerful practice with my students. As I see their bibliographies develop in real time, I see all sorts of opportunities to probe, prod, assist, or otherwise intervene to support the research process.
