Read: Sample Module 5: Example of Letter/Post Stereotype Assignment.
Find a current stereotype (actually in use) in which Native women are portrayed.
Find the address of the company/organization and, if possible, the name of an individual, or a person’s title, to address the letter to.
Compose a letter stating reasons why this stereotype is problematic. Integrate information you gained/learned from the module’s readings. Be respectful in your writing.
The letter should be 1 page minimum (single-spaced) but no more than two pages. It needs to include a date, address, proper salutation and closing.
Submit (upload) your letter to Assignment: “Stereotype.”
Post to discussion board “Stereotype” a photo of the stereotype (if there is one), and a brief explanation about why you chose this stereotype and what makes it problematic. If there is no photo, either include a link to a website or the name of the organization you would write the letter to. Post should contain at least 50 words.
