Write a mock email to another student who is learning ASL (you will not actually need to send this email)—if you don’t know another student, you can write your email to an imaginary ASL student. In your email, strategize with your friend about how you could lead a discussion between hearing and Deaf friends about one important issue that affects the Deaf community. Choose a topic, like the Deaf vs. deaf debate, whether Deaf students should learn to lipread, Cochlear implants, or any other topic of interest to you. Propose some ground rules for the discussion so everyone’s ideas will be heard and everyone will feel welcome.
