BOYCOTT

What does the word boycott mean?  How is it alive in our story? 
What boycotts have taken place in American history?

Create a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the Wallace store boycott with the Alabama bus boycott that Rosa Parks inspired.  Use your ROT book and the Rosa Parks Scholastic website.  (http://teacher.scholastic.com/rosa/index.htm)

To complete your chart, think about the following:

• Who is leading the boycott?  Why? 
• How did the boycott begin?
• What is being boycotted? 
• What is the desired outcome?
• What is the reaction to the boycott?
• How long does the boycott last?
• Is it successful?  Why or why not?
