    Class: Eleventh Grade English

    Grade Level: Eleventh (Junior)


    Unit: Julius Caesar
    Teacher: Mr. Neil Bingham
    Objectives
    Students will be able to verbally, and through an additional form of media, be able to dictate
    whether or not any of the characters in Julius Caesar are in fact tragic heroes.
    Iowa Core Curriculum-Subject Area Standard
    Employ the full range of research-based comprehension strategies, including making
    connections, determining importance, questioning, visualizing, making inferences, summarizing,
    and monitoring for comprehension.
    Essential Question
    Which characters, if any, are heroes in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar?
    Anticipatory Set (10 Minutes)
    Students are given the essential question and are given 10 minutes to write their response; must
    be 8-10 sentences. (below is an example one of the students was kind enough to share) She
    wrote:
    If I were to have to pick a hero in Julius Caesar it would be Brutus. I couldnt imagine having to
    kill my best friend especially not if I knew she was what Rome thought they wanted. But thats
    what he wanted the whole time, all that he wanted was to keep the best interest of Rome. What
    he did was selfless and I think that all of this made him a hero, not a coward. All of the other
    characters in the story were very clearly not heroes, especially Casius and Caesar. He isnt
    perfect, but he is doing his best for the people of Rome.
    Teaching: Activities (40 minutes)
