How Persuasive Can You Be?

This is a great project for all teachers who would like to have a writing and research unit with a cumulative activity.  This is also Character Ed. based and was written through an LCI Initiative in my district.  We follow with this unit after the reading of IQBAL by Francesco D'Adamo.  This is a fantastic true account of a young boy who is being held as a child laborer.   Students are also exposed to a variety of poetry and writing prior to this activity.
