Work Session:
Welcome to class, everyone! Today we are going to continue reading the play – here’s your Cast List!
We will be finishing Act II – Remember yesterday when we saw Brutus interact with his wife, Portia? Today we will see Caesar intact with his wife Calpurnia, which is a much different scene than we saw yesterday!
We will also read Act III Scene I – Sorry, Caesar. You kick the bucket today.
That’ll take most of class, as of course we will stop and discuss throughout the reading.
Closing Session:
Find 5 words that are new to you from the play, jot them down, and look up and write out their definitions.
Assessment:
Vocab words will be graded for completion, reading is a participation grade.
Differentiation:
Readers will have different length parts based on strength of readers and desire.
