and the State of the Union - Issues Chart  (only need the first page!) 

Homework: 

Watch at least 30 minutes of the President’s State of the Union Address.  It will begin at 9:00 pm and will be on all major news channels (ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, FOX, C-SPAN, etc - aka it will be on instead of your favorite Tuesday night shows ;) ) You can also livestream the event from a computer, your iPad, or a smartphone from CSPAN.org. The White House also does an 'enhanced' streaming version with statistics.

As you watch, complete the CSPAN State of the Union chart!
