This stops with the Clintons.

Website - A look at the language of presidential inaugural addresses. The most-used words in each address appear in the interactive chart below, sized by number of uses. Words highlighted in yellow were used significantly more in this inaugural address than average.

This website was shared at the Discovery Day. Make sure you click on a word. Above it will show that word used in other Presidents' speeches. Interesting.

This site has free computer games to put a fun spinon learning about government. This site is an expanded version of an earlier site called OurCourts.org. Games on icivics include "Do I Have a Right", in which the player runs a virtual firm specializing in constitutional law; "Executive Command," which offers a chance to play president; "Supreme Decision," about the Supreme Court; "Branches of Power," which gives the player control of all three brances of government; and "Law Craft," in which the player is a member of Congress. The Icivics program is based on Georgetown University Law School. The online role-playing games on Icivis are free, teacher-friendly, and effective--and it has been found that kids like them so much that they play them at home.
