De Anza College Interpersonal Communication Challenge Dear Anu Letter What is a “Dear Anu” letter?

You will write a brief letter in the form of an anonymous letter to an advice columnist–Dear Anu. (Similar to a Dear Abby, Dear Prudence, Ask Jane, etc type of letter).

Guidelines for your letter:

–should be about a “real-life” INTERPERSONAL communication challenge/issue that you have recently experienced or are experiencing (in any interpersonal context)

–should be written with enough detail to give us a clear picture of what the challenge/issue is, who the interactants are and the context and why this is a relevant issue challenge/issue for you.

–should include some kind of “question” as part of it in order to indicate what you want help resolving/discussing

–should be no longer than 1-2 paragraphs (single-spaced).

–should indicate at the end a rating of 1-5 (1 = really important to me and I want some advice on it, while 5 = important, but okay if I didn’t get advice on it).

Note: Assume that any discussion about your letter will be discussed anonymously. So even though I will know via your submission who sent it, when I present your situation for discussion with your classmates, I will remove your name from it and may change any identifying marker. (If you wish, you can choose whether or not you want to reveal your identity to your fellow students and claim the letter as your own during the online class discussion)
