Read “His Marriage and Hers: Childhood Roots” and answer the following question.

1. In small groups of three or four students, brainstorm a list of emotional differences between the sexes. Using that list as a springboard, work independently to compose a one-paragraph letter to an advice columnist describing a conflict that has arisen between a man and a woman. Trade letters with a member of your group. Then, taking on the role of the columnist, respond to your group member’s letter, explaining the root of the problem — emotional differences — and offering a solution. Be creative with the name of the letter writer and the advice columnist. If your class has a blog or a discussion board, you may post these letters so that all members of the class can read them.
