Julius Caesar Expectations

Our Class is currently studying Julius Caesar, here is a snapshot of the work students should be doing:

- Scene summaries (based on the handout from class, students are expected to summarize and analyze each scene after we've read it)
-Character charts (students are expected to update these charts based on key characters - time will be given in class to do this)
-Questions - each scene has questions students will answer to develop their understanding
-Quotation analysis - to help in their interpretation of the scene/ characters and play

There will be a quiz after every Act, and various assignments students will be working on in the unit:

- Act 1 analysis/ letter (Due Thursday March 1st, 2012)
-Character analysis - "Facebook" re-creation based on a character

Assignments will be given out in class, students are expected to keep up and meet deadlines.  They can always come to Ms. Gilmore with any questions.  The late assignment policy will be in effect.

Note:  We will also be participating in a workshop with a professional actor from "Shakespearience"  who will be coming to FMM later in March.  Stay tuned for details!
