3. TED Talk Thursday: Sexism in Gaming
As you watch the Ted Talk, jot down your thoughts in response to the questions below:
How does Lilian “Milktea” Chen define her cultural identity?
What is her message about voice?

4. Cultural identity writing: Peer Revision (narrative or poem)
What is your clear and strongly maintained central idea (e.g., internal/external conflict – as in Two Kinds - or central metaphor/concept – food as in Ethnic Hash) to focus the essay?
What examples/evidence did you use to create a vivid sense of personal cultural identity?
Where are you ‘telling’ instead of ‘showing’? How can you change it? (next slide for example)
What is your organizational strategy? How does it create clarity and cohesion? Where are your transition words? How does it begin? How does it end?
Where is your natural voice? Does it sound forced? Look for ways to be original.
