Inauguration Day Proposal

To: Professor Morris
From: Ashleigh Hill

RE: Inauguration Day Proposal

Scope: I will conduct research about the inauguration of President Barack Obama, and compare this year's inauguration to the one prior. I will also look into what changes have occurred in the last four years of his term.

Need: The views and opinions of our nation's president are often a reflection on the country as a whole from an outside perspective--it's important to know where he stands on matters and what has changed over time.

Methods: I will research President Barack Obama's first four years in office, watch his 2013 Inauguration, as well as his 2009 Inauguration. I will research what has changed since he first took office, including how public opinion has changed since that time.

Sources: EBSCOHost, Government databases, www.whitehouse.gov, YouTube or other websites streaming Inauguration Day, New York Times and similar publications.

Presentation: A comparative look at the ceremony four years ago in the style of a New York Times Op-Ed piece.

Follow-up: There are no follow-up plans at the current time.
