Julius Caesar, Shakespeare, Act 1

In this lesson, we will learn about how power worked in ancient Rome and the reason why some people wanted to assassinate Julius Caesar.

In this lesson, we will begin to read the 'Jullius Caesar'. We will meet the characters of Brutus and Cassius, learn about who is honourable and who is ambitious, and discover that a crime may be afoot.

In this lesson, we will continue to read Brutus and Cassius' interaction in Act I Scene ii, except this time we will read it in Shakespeare's original English! We will use everything we have already learned to investigate how Cassius is trying to manipulate Brutus.

In this lesson, we will meet the characters of Julius Caesar and his great friend Mark Antony, and we will investigate what is making Caesar suspicious.

In this lesson, we will continue to examine Mark Anthony and Julius Caesar's interaction in Act I Scene ii, except this time we will read it in Shakespeare's original English! We will use what we have learned already and we will consider whether we think Caesar is a bit of a coward.

In this lesson, we will look at what makes leaders strong, and consider whether Caesar is a strong or a weak leader.
