Now that you have finished reading Freakonomics, make an argument about the authors' voice in the text.
What is unique about the voice?
What tone does the text generate?
Then, in a well-developed, concise paragraph, make an argument as to why this text needs to be taught in an AP English Language classroom. Think about our foundations of rhetoric and about the course's thematic setup.
Once you have posted, you are not finished. You will need to engage in a lively conversation (and potential debate) with at least two other people from class on this message board.
Your post is due by midnight, 3/13. Happy blogging!
