8th Grade Presidental Farewell Addresses



Choose to read either Ronald Reagan's or George W. Bush's farewell address. I will be giving you a quiz in class over whichever you choose to read, so read for comprehension.

Click here for Ronald Reagan's address.

Click here for George W. Bush's address.

In class tomorrow we will be comparing these with that of George Washington's farewell address. Take notes on tone used throughout the speech, major points the president spoke about, and any underlying issues that you can pick up on. Also take notes on things you do not understand so that I can clear up questions tomorrow.
