You will be writing a persuasive letter on behalf of a community you belong to.

Identifying a community to which you feel you belong. For this homework assignment, I’d like you to do some reflective work, thinking about your various identities and interests, in order to identify the community you’d like to argue on behalf of for this project.

•What are some of the ways that you identify? For this, you could think generally about your race, your religion, your culture, etc. or any other set of practices, belief systems, or interests that you think play a role in how you navigate the world around you.

• Pick one of these identities that you’d like to focus on for this project and describe the community you are part of as a result of this identity. What are some of the characteristics of this community? What are some of the things that unify it?

• How do you feel that you relate to or fit into this community?

• And finally, what are some of the issues or challenges that this community faces? What are some arguments you might want to make on behalf of this community in your letter?
