Monday, October 18

Mr. Graci was absent today.

All this week, we are focusing on Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar. We will be covering an act per day and finishing the play with Act V on Friday.

I have an audio version of the play that students will listen to as they read along. After reading, students have several worksheets to complete on the play. These worksheets will aid their understanding. After each Act, we will have a short multiple choice quiz on the act. So there are a lot of grades this week!

If your child is experiencing difficulty understanding the play, please direct them to the “Sparknotes” website that I introduced in class. They should know the address (or they can google “Sparknotes”). The website provides modern translations of Shakespeare’s plays that students can read over to aid their comprehension.

Here’s the schedule:
Monday- Act One
Tuesday- Act Two
Wednesday- Act Three
Thursday- Act Four
Friday- Act Five
