Read and annotate Ch. 2 of Taibbi's Griftopia (pp. 35-77) and write one well-composed and well-developed paragraph in response to the following prompt: Does Taibbi persuade you that Alan Greenspan does indeed fulfill his description in the title of Chapter 2? Be specific about Taibbi's rhetorical strategies that succeed or fail in persuading you.
Also, bring in your copy of The Craft of Research. We will use it during class.
Lastly, bring in your signed Mentor Commitment Letter. If you misplaced the form or did not receive one in class, you can pick one up in my classroom, or you can print it out from the link on the right.
