Julius Caesar Act 1, Scene 1 Writing Prompt
Teaching Shakespeare can be enervating, which is why I like to intersperse readings of the scenes with writing activities such as this one. It not only gives students a break from the text, but it allows them to process and demonstrate what they've learned--and while being creative. A great, efficient activity that is excellent to assign after reading Act 1, Scene 1, and which can be easily completed in one class! (Suggested word count can be adjusted as you see fit.)
