English 6 Name
Julius Caesar Due Monday, May 5
Man of the Year or Most Wanted?
After all of your reading about Julius Caesar in both English in history classes, we know you have formed your opinion of this historical figure. Do you consider him a Man of the Year? Or should his picture be splashed on a Most Wanted poster?
Begin your thought process by completing the Julius Caesar graphic organizer - filling in information about his positive and negative qualities, his opponents and supporters, how Caesar justified his actions, and how history portrays him. To complete this chart, you will need to refer to both Shakespeare’s play as well as your history text. You need to identify one quotation from the play to put on your poster.
Once you have completed the graphic organizer (which we will grade), you are ready to create your poster. Scroll down in this document for examples and even search images online for layout ideas. In addition to the basics - title and image - you must write a paragraph supporting your stance. It must begin with a hook (a catchy lead) and your paragraph must clearly TELL and SHOW your opinion.
We will provide you with the materials you need to create your poster. Just ask us.
