Title: An Introduction to Julius Caesar Using Multiple-Perspective Universal Theme Analysis
URL: http://readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lesson-plans/introduction-julius-caesar-using-30996.html
Description:

Students begin by evaluating the universal theme of betrayal from multiple perspectives. After reading time period scenarios as well as reflecting on personal experiences, students use critical thinking skills to explore and identify interventions for each betrayal scenario, including their personal examples. Students research Roman history, the setting of Shakespeare's drama, and The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. Applying this research, students write their own critical perspective of a scenario depicting plausible betrayal scenes from Roman times. As the culminating project and assessment, students create comic strips with the student interactive Comic Creator.
