For Tuesday, Read ch. 5 in The Craft of Research (pp. 68-83). Also, catch up on any reading you haven't done in Griftopia. In class, we will first finish The Flaw, then we will discuss Griftopia, and we will wrap up by looking at an argumentative essay from an AP exam.
On Thursday, you will write two in-class essays about Griftopia. (Keep in mind that on the AP exam, you have about forty minutes to write each essay.) One essay will be a rhetorical analysis essay; you will receive a passage from Griftopia and a prompt that directs you to analyze its rhetorical features. The other essay will make a statement about the 2008 financial collapse and will require you to take a position to answer it.
