Teaching Julius Caesar: A Differentiated Approach

Julius Caesar, with its themes of loyalty, ambition, and deception, still resonates with high school students and remains a favorite text in classrooms everywhere. Through differentiated instruction, Lyn Fairchild Hawks offers solutions for bringing the play to life for all students--those with various interests, readiness levels, and learning styles. She offers practical, engaging, and rigorous lessons for teaching reading, writing, speaking, performance, and research that can be used as-is or can be adapted to suit the needs of your students and classroom environment. This book is a comprehensive curriculum for teaching the play and offers lesson plans highlighting key scenes; mini-lessons for reading and writing; performance activities; close reading assignments for ELL, novice, on-target, and advanced learners; and quizzes, writing assignments, and compacting guidelines.
