The Year of the Youth Vote?

I received an email from Shanelle yesterday. For your vocabulary test, use a minimum of 7 vocabulary words to respond to this email and this question: Is this the year of the youth vote? Be sure to use evidence from the article in your response. Click here to access the Time Magazine article entitled "The Year of the Youth Vote".

I finished reading the article and it made me want to listen and observe Barack's speeches
(No wonder a lot of students are pumped up over voting and making a difference, Barack Obama has that effect on youth. I never cared about politics but Barack has a way with words that make you want to make a difference.)

I found a music video that goes along to Obama's speeches;

I enjoyed two quotes from that speech;
"We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no
matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can withstand the
power of millions of voices calling for change."

and

"It's not just about what I will do as president, it is also about what you, the people who love this country, the citizens of the United States of America can do to change it. That is what this election is all about."
