The Task
A group of concerned citizens in our town does not think we should read Julius Caesar in our sophomore English class. This group believes that Julius Caesar has nothing to do with our lives today and that we should focus on reading more modern works. Your group's job is to convince these people at the next SBDM meeting that Julius Caesar contains themes that are relevant to us today.
You should use the resources provided on this webquest as well as your own personal knowledge to complete your task.
By the end of this webquest, your group will have created and presented a PowerPoint presentation for the SBDM meeting (which may look surprisingly like your English class!) to prove that Julius Caesar is just as relevant as modern writings in our lives today. You will present your findings to the class as a group. Additionally, you will turn in an assignment that is specific to the role you choose. You will receive two grades: One for your group's PowerPoint presentation and one for your individual assignment.
Through this webquest, you will be able to increase your knowledge of Julius Caesar's time and improve your understanding as we read the play Julius Caesar. You will be working individually, choosing what most interests you, and working in a group to reach consensus on the most dominant themes related to Julius Caesar's time that persist today.
