  2. Inquiry: How can examining the five movements of Act 1 scene 2 develop a deeper understanding of the characters and their interactions in William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Julius Caesar?

  3. Inquiry: How can examining the five movements of Act 1 scene 2 develop a deeper understanding of the characters and their interactions in William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Julius Caesar?

  4. Inquiry: How can examining the five movements of Act 1 scene 2 develop a deeper understanding of the characters and their interactions in William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Julius Caesar? Coin Creation Project Due: Monday Think of the characters in act 1, scene 2, as subjects of coins. On one side would appear the person’s name and the profile of a head, perhaps of a god. Choose one of the following characters whom you feel would be arrogant enough to depict himself or if he would choose a god. How would his name be represented? On the other side would be key symbols. Consider what symbols would most effectively represent the character’s achievements or reputation. Characters: Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, Anthony Challenge: You may use clay, cardboard, or any other appropriate medium for your final products. Remember, your grade will reflect the effort, which you put forth!
