Assignments for Tuesday, Nov. 3, and Thursday, Nov. 5

For Tuesday, read and annotate ch. 7 of Griftopia (pp. 206-240). In class, we will conclude our discussion of Griftopia, and you will prepare potential topics for the in-class essay on Thursday.

On Thursday, you will write an in-class essay about Griftopia. You will be able to use your book, and I expect you to quote from it.
