This last quarter, we picked up one of my favorites: Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. I divided the play into four weeks and the students have done an awesome job approaching the Elizabethan text. We acted out the assassination of Julius Caesar and watched as students pretended to hurt the main character “Caesar”. Poor Caesar, died while the conspirators shook hands and stood proud of their betrayal. The students got a good understanding of how themes unfold in the play. Themes such as: friendship vs. betrayal, superstition vs. intuition, good leadership vs. bad leadership were covered and were discussed in class. It’s good to see student interest in how the themes can be related to modern times. What an awesome way to end the year.
