Group Mini-Projects

Julius Caesar Skills Mini-Project

We will be completing the Act V “Developing skills in reading literature” (page 685 in the textbook) questions in groups. Each group of 4-6 students will be responsible for fully answering one of the sections: Tragedy, Tragic Hero, Pun, Structure, and Theme. You may pick your own groups. You will be given class time to work on your projects but are also encouraged to work outside of class to accomplish your task. Each group will be expected to create a Power Point and give a presentation on your topic.

Presentations are to include the following:

• A complete answer to each question in your section (Remember to include the question to let the audience know what you are answering)
• Every member of the group must be included in the presentation
• Powerpoint must include pictures, videos, or any other element which will enhance your presentation
• Relevant reference to a scholarly source about your topic with works cited slide. For example, if you are in the Tragedy group, you would include a reference to the dictionary definition of “catharsis.”
• Presentations are to be at least 3-5 minutes in length
• You may facilitate a discussion with well thought out questions
• Creativity

Presentations are due on Monday, April 6. You will be graded on the thoughtfulness of your answers, your participation in your group, and the overall impact of the presentation.
