Thesis Statement Prompt #1: In Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, language is a powerful weapon, and in the hands of a skilled person, it is used to manipulate others as evidenced by the speeches of Cassius, Decius, and Antony. Prompt #2: In Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, logos proves to be the single most effective rhetorical strategy as evidenced by the logical appeals of Cassius, Portia, and Antony. Prompt #3: In Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, Antony’s funeral speech proves to be the most effective speech in the entire play thanks to his persuasive strategies appealing to logos and pathos.

  6. Evidence Sandwich • Topic sentence relating to the thesis statement. CX: • What’s the context of the quote? How would you quickly “set it up” so the reader understands its place in the plot and its larger context in the play? • Cd: • The actual quote you’re using. • Cm: • The commentary and analysis of how this supports the “thesis”, which says, essentially, that X theme is evident in the play.
