This article describes a unit in which students read a play and a story that included scenes of courtroom drama.

Their motivation led to more reading and writing as they expressed a desire to read more “real stuff.”</FONT></P></TD></tr></table></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc;
