Reading his Nobel Prize Acceptance speech will do just that. To accommodate scaffolding, I have included one version that caters to teaching persuasion and rhetorical analysis and a second that asks questions pertaining to

Since the SAT typically selects at least 1 text on a social issue, the outside source information included for analysis will allow you to discuss the social issues present in Pakistan. And since
