Description
Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is a tragedy based on the historical events surrounding the death of Caesar, exploring the motivations of the men who orchestrated it and surrounded him in public and political life.
The Teacher Guide includes the inset student guide with answers, guides for Socratic Discussion Questions,andQuizzes and Quiz Keys.
Though a staple in high school English classes, Julius Caesar is not a simple play. Seemingly irreconcilable forces are at work: fate and free will, the changeableness and stubbornness of ambitious men, the demands of public service and the desire for private gain. Drawn from history as recorded by Plutarch, the major characters - Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, and Mark Antony - are complex, as are the twists and turns of their fortunes. What kind of man rises to power? What price does he pay when he becomes a politician? These questions raised by Shakespeare are relevant in every age, whether ancient Rome, Elizabethan England, or even our own day.
Challenging children to read slightly above their comfort level, Memoria Press Literature for Eighth Grade helps students develop into superior readers. Memoria Press firmly believes that reading should not be a passive activity, rather, reading requires an active mind that is meant to be challenged to think, compare, and contrast. With this goal in mind, the Eighth Grade Literature Guide focuses on vocabulary, spelling, comprehension, and composition skills. Each lesson includes a word study to build vocabulary. Comprehension questions have been written to challenge students to consider what they have read, identify the important content of each story, and compose clear, concise answers. Guides and books are available separately or in a convenient package.
