- For this week’s discussion board, please discuss the two pieces and the Letter.
- What is Phi’s point about Asian Americans’ relationship to police and police violence? What is the goal of his piece?
- What do you learn about “Chinese conservatism” from the article by Zen and what are the responses from other Chinese community members? How does this piece relate to Phi’s writing?
- What is the goal of the letter? Do you think this letter meets the goal? Why or why not?
Research/Writing Project
Work on your final project. Note that I extended the deadline so the final assignment is due on Friday 12/4. And I adjusted the assignment instructions so that you have to include a minimum of THREE items, not four. Updated instructions can be found here.
