EXPLANATION (18 points):

This presentation is used in my classroom to introduce Julius Caesar to my students. I present this power point as we discuss the story. The graphic organizers are filled in by the students as we progress through the story line.Graphic Organizers were taken from Education Place. They are story maps that the students use to write down the setting, characters, problems, and resolutions. They also use them to document major characters and minor ones. These organizers are used for each act to help them follow the events of the play. They will be turned in at the end of the unit for a grade. The students will also receive handouts for vocabulary words and a character list that they will use to take notes we read the play. This will be used to study for the test.

Graphic Organizer hand outs are attached to the lesson.Vocabulary word handout is attached to the lesson.Character list handout is attached to the lesson.
