Studying Shakespeare does not have to be overwhelming—with the guidance provided by Progeny Press’ Julius Caesar Study Guide, readers and families are walked through this great work of Shakespeare from a Christian perspective. Each section of the guide covers an Act in the play. The vocabulary work is unique as it will work on defining and using Shakespearean words with contemporary words (a 2-for-1 vocabulary lesson). Comprehension questions make sure that students are understanding what they are reading, the Analysis questions will introduce literary analysis work. This literary analysis may introduce new concepts for your students as they analyze a play rather than a novel. Finally, the Dig Deeper questions will connect the reading to scripture and spiritual formation aspects. Literary skills include anecdotes, juxtaposition, paradox, soliloquy, personification, anachronism, characterization, dramatic irony, and many more. Prereading Activities provide context to what you will read. Post reading Essay Prompts help readers make further connections to the text and showcase what they have learned. A catered list of age-appropriate Further Resources is provided. Answers are in the back on perforated pages for easy removal. 84 pages, softcover. ~Rebecca

Description
Publisher's Description of Julius Caesar Study Guide | Progeny Press
Julius Caesar has been made emperor of Rome for life, and many also want to make him king. Some in the Roman Senate envy Caesar his success, and others fear what he may do with his power, and so Caius Cassius and a band of patricians decide that Caesar must die, but they believe they need the support of Caesar's friend, the popular Marcus Brutus, to lend legitimacy to their plans. Brutus already seems to fear Caesar and soon succumbs to their influence and joins their plot. The conspirators discover that assassination is a messy tool for achieving power, however, and ruling Rome is much more complicated than simply removing Caesar.
