Using Booker T. Washington’s “Atlanta Compromise” speech as a teaching tool, write a five-paragraph essay to other college writers to help them understand and appreciate THREE specific ways they can try to appeal to their skeptical readers. The following two steps will help you plan and write this essay.
Step #1: Study how Washington tries to appeal to his 1985 Southern white business owners with his “Atlanta Compromise” speech.
Step #2: Pick just THREE specific ways Washington tries to appeal to his skeptics and write a five-paragraph essay in which you SELL your readers the value of these three strategies and TEACH them how to use these THREE moves to appeal to skeptical readers in their own writing.
