Hello. I teach 7th and 8th grade English. We're starting a unit on
persasive writing. I'm interested in finding some short plays/skits
that my students can act out. After they act out a scene, we'll be
analyzing the text. We'll try to figure out how one person persuaded
another, etc. So, obviously, I'm looking for text that has some
compelling persuasive elements. Court rooms, peer pressure, etc. all
come to mind, but I really don't have a background in plays to draw
from. Can you help me out? Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Perhaps The Crucible by Arthur Miller

Perhaps, but God, that's a drag.
