If you have the chance to post the entire inaugural speech, I would love to read it. It would also be great as a discussion prompt in class about the role of America today in the changing paradigm of the world. I heard it a couple of times, and only after the second time I was able to appreciate the fine nuances of his language. Obama is a man who chooses his words carefully. That is why it is important to study his speech.
The Cassignol writers belong to 3 classes of "troisième"(= 9th grade ). They're all very nice and motivated pupils who share a real interest in the English language and culture. They are curious, creative and enthusiastic. This is only their fourth year as English learners but they're very willing to try and express in English what makes them happy, their passions as well as their concerns as teenagers. The aim is to share their feelings with their schoolmates but also with their American penfriends from Washington, so as to reach a better mutual understanding and tolerance. We all hope that you will enjoy their writings and will feel like encouraging them through your contributions to their blog.
