The life and death of Julius Caesar is told through this drama. Used in Abeka's World Literature curriculum, students read about Caesar's character, Brutus and his betrayal to Caesar, and the effects of the betrayal. Response questions are included after each act. There are five acts and at the beginning of each act is a portrait bust of one of the five primary characters along with the location of the bust today. Under each bust is the introduction for the act followed by reading strategy. The margins of the book give the students more perspective through knowledge of the literary device being used, historical perspective, Biblical worldview, thought provokers, and more. For greater knowledge of the text, answers to response questions, and reading quizzes, use Julius Caesar Teacher’s Edition (2nd Edition). Pb, 145 pgs. Second Edition.
