4 pages reflection paper due 10/24

In roughly four pages, write a letter to someone in a younger or future generation. Draw from what you’ve learned in this course to address unjust treatment(s) of some kind(s).

Think of Coates’ Between Me and the World (2015) as a kind of guide–not necessarily a guide for the content of your work, but a guide for the general purpose of the paper. He was motivated to share his experiences, beliefs, fears, and hopes with his son. This is your chance to take on a similar project based on your own perspectives and what you have learned.

You are welcome and encouraged to make this creative and engaging. At the same time, you should hold your audience to a high standard as Coates did with his 15-year-old son; that is, don’t dumb down your message. Keep the bar high.

For an A, you need to spend an appropriate amount of time on this assignment. Exactly what that is varies, but it’s not an afternoon. Start now. Your score will be out of 100 possible points.
