American Presidential Rhetoric

Sections 004 , T 12:30-1:20 pm

Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said, ¿The presidency is not merely an administrative office. That¿s the least of it. It is more than an engineering job, efficient or inefficient. It is pre-eminently a place of moral leadership. All our great presidents were leaders of thought at times when certain historic ideas in the life of the nation had to be clarified.¿ American Presidential Rhetoric will cover a variety of presidential speeches that helped shape American history, such as Washington¿s farewell address, Lincoln¿s second inaugural, and Roosevelt asking Congress to declare war on Japan. The class will be taught in a seminar format as we critically analyze these speeches along with the impact they have had on American political history. Throughout the semester, the class will consider a number of important questions. For example, why are some presidential speeches remembered while most others are forgotten? Can a president¿s words actually have a measurable impact on public policy or even the national mood? Also, how have presidential speeches evolved over time, especially with the advent of the rhetorical presidency era during the 20th century? These questions, and many more, will be considered in the course. With the focus on this seminar format, a number of the university perspectives course objectives will be addressed, including the development of writing skills, oral communication techniques, information literacy, and critical thinking. Along with a few short written assignments related to the course, students will also be expected to complete a handful of the traditional UP modules, including the Blackboard tutorial and academic integrity. Finally, although the topic for the course will be presidential rhetoric, I plan to continue to periodically offer what I call ¿Maximizing Honors Presentations¿ for my students. These specific class sessions will focus on strategies to help first-year honors students be successful in the college, with discussions on topics such as goal setting, academic integrity, study abroad, undergraduate research, and nationally competitive awards.
