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,
dramaticirony, 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
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.

The High School guides offer many
familiar and popular high school literature options from Progeny Press.
With over 37 titles to choose from, there are numerous books to fill your
students’ reading time! All titles are presented from a Christian worldview, and
each guide is filled with comprehension questions, vocabulary building,
dedicated analysis work, and scriptural connections and application. Pages can
be copied for family and individual classroom use. Many of the classics are
found in this collection and would provide a great opportunity (or incentive)
for your students to read the book and watch the movie! The recommended goal is
for students to read 4-6 guides during the school year. Answers are in the back
and can be easily removed. Each guide includes Notes to the Instructor, mini
author biographies, and background information. These literature selections are
more suited for high school students as they contain difficult topics and
content. Guided reading offers a structured reading experience that develops
analytical skills while enjoying a well-crafted story! ~Rebecca
