The boycott of the Wallaces' store is an important part of the book. Its
success depends on Mrs. Logan's ability to convince people that the boycott is
worth the risks even though it will cause significant hardships for those who
participate.
You are to write a formal letter - in which you pretend to be Mrs. Logan - and
attempt to persuade one of your neighbors to participate in the boycott. This
writing should be word processed, formatted correctly, and proofread. You
will need to turn in a rough draft with your final copy. The R.A.F.T writing will be graded using a 6
+1 traits rubric. (ideas, voice, organization, sentence fluency, organization, word choice,
conventions)
