The Process
1. First, you will be divided into groups of 4. In your group there will be one Reporter, one Architect, one Psychic, and one Doctor. You will decide among your group members who will play each role.
2. Make sure each member of the group accesses their SkyDrive Account. Each member must request all other members to be their "friend" so that you can share group documents. Click here for a lesson on how to accessSkyDrive.
2. Within your group, read the descriptions, and choose a role. The process for each role is described on your individual page.

3. As you work through the role you choose, look for themes, that may relate to the essential questions, that may resonate in the world you live in today. You can use the comparison chart while researching to organize the similarities you notice between Julius Caesar and modern-day events. The chart is for comparisons and contrasts, but you should just focus on comparisons in this section. The comparison chart can be completed as a group, if one member uploads it to the SkyDrive and Shares the document with the group.
4. Once everyone in your group is finished with his/her particular task, get together to create a presentation for the class (SBDM meeting). Take the information you gained during your individual task and decide which aspects will convince the SBDM that we encounter the same situations today. You can use a comparison chart to keep track of similarities that each of you found between Caesar's world and our own while completing your individual tasks (remember--even though this chart can be used for contrasts as well, you should only focus on comparisons at this point because you are trying to show that Julius Caesar can be related to themes today). Your presentation should be in the form of a PowerPoint presentation in which everyone in your group participates. You should try to include pictures and sounds in your PowerPoint presentation. Also, try to phrase your slides differently to make them varied and, therefore, more interesting. Have one group member build the Comparison Chart in the Sky Drive and Share the document with the rest of the group. Model it on the Comparison Chart, but build it as a table with 3 columns and several rows. Ask Ms. G if you have any problems.
