Mr. Graci was in school today. Yay!
Mr. Graci showed a brief PowerPoint about Julius Caesar. It introduced who Caesar was and it also talked about the concept of the "tragic hero." Caesar's tragic flaw was his vanity (or pride).
Mr. Graci showed a clip from a History channel documentary about Caesar. It really helped to bring Caesar to life for the students. There were a couple of really memorable examples of his vanity.
We listened to the audio CD of Julius Caesar, Act Two. Mr. Graci stopped the CD to highlight some of the most important bits.
After we read Act Two, there was an 8 question quiz on it.
Tomorrow, we'll move on to Act Three, which will be so exciting. Caesar will die! Brutus and Marc Antony will deliver their speeches in front of the crowd!!
