Here at Sweeney's Guide I want to improve access to educational resources for high school social studies teachers. It is intended to be a home for all of us trying to figure out this whole teaching thing. As a student teacher I'm discovering lots of cool resources from throughout the web, and your contributions by commenting on ways you have found interesting classroom uses for these and other resources will make Sweeney's Guide better for all of our users!

GREAT video for teaching the State of the Union
Tomorrow is President Obama's State of the Union Address, and if you are teaching anything with government or political science, I hope that you will be bringing it up, if not teaching it directly.
I found this excellent video from ABC news, that covers the history of the State of the Union, recent trends, and the role of the State of the Union in American politics.
Personally I will be showing this 3 1/2 minute video tomorrow to introduce my students to the purpose and history of the state of the Union, before requiring my students to watch the address itself tomorrow evening either on television or streaming online.
For those of you with access to the Methods fileshare, I have uploaded a State of the Union Address Viewing Guide to the Assignments folder.
