  2. Background facts • Choose 2 of your facts to share with the class. • We will go around the room twice, sharing one at a time • It is a good idea to make note of some of your other classmate’s facts as they may come up in the play. • The more you know historically, the easier the content will be so you can focus on the rhetoric!

  3. Julius Caesar Julius Caesar begins on page 778 • We will read and act the play out loud! • We need enthusiasm and everyone involved • This means you will be doing DEDs and response outside of class • We will discuss sections of the play for content & analyze speeches • Taking notes is encouraged

  9. Cassius vs. caesar • What is the purpose of Cassius’ story about Caesar? Why is it a big deal? How does Brutus react to Cassius at first? • What faults does Caesar see in Cassius? • How does Cassius start to influence Brutus to join him?

  10. Use of Language • Why does Casca speak in prose when talking about Caesar? • It is alwaysa good idea to pay attention when Shakespeare starts writing in prose. It sounds and looks very different – he’s inviting you to notice that something is up. • Why does Caesar speak in 3rd person?
