"Obama will deliver a national address directly to students on Tuesday...
...in advance of the address, the Department of Education has offered educators "classroom activities" to coincide with Obama's message. ...

Students in grade...s pre-K-6, for example, are encouraged to "write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president. These would be collected and redistributed at an appropriate later date by the teacher to make students accountable to their goals."

For grades 7-12, the Department of Education suggests teachers prepare by excerpting quotes from Obama's speeches on education for their students to contemplate – and ask as questions such as "Why does President Obama want to speak with us today? How will he inspire us? How will he challenge us?"
