 * The Power of Persuasion**
 * America's tradition of lively free speech was established in the early period of the fight for independence from British rule. Persuasive, free speech is at the heart of our democracy's vitality. Through a study of historic American speeches, this unit provides an opportunity to analyze models of effetive persuasive speech in preparation for writing and delivering original persuasive speeches. This unit delves into Arthur Miller's play //This Crucible// and Nathaniel Hawthorne's //The Scarlet Letter and explores both the plays themselves as well as its relationship to the time period in which they were written.//**
