"Because it is my name!"Have students analyze Arthur Miller's The Crucible for how characters manipulate language for their purposes! In this unit, I have compiled what has worked well for me and my students in the AP Lang classroom. Included are the following:1) Pre-reading activities on Puritan writings, a speech by Joseph McCarthy, and discussion activities for Margaret Atwood's "Half-Hanged Mary"2) Resources for analyzing a text for rhetoric, motifs, and character.3) Close reading questions
