Deep Thoughts
Welcome To Reading, Writing, Blogging
I plan on using this with my classes, parents, friends, colleagues, etc., so that we might continue conversations about what we do, read, write, and think about in class. Thinking doesn't just happen in the classroom; it happens every where. So many times in the evenings I think about what I should have said, might have said, or think of a whole new idea and I want to share it with you. This is a way for us to continue thinking and doing. I hope that you are an active participant. I also wanted to state, this site isn't just for students. Our learning community expands far past just students and teachers. Parents, friends, co-workers, and community members are all part of our learning community.

I vote for Julius Caesar. It is one of my favorites!!
When I first started teaching I was not looking forward to having to teach Caesar. I thought the kids would find it dry and boring. However, I have been completely suprised at how "in to it" they get. I suppose the dramatic flair of vengence, back stabbing, lying, deceit, etc, and how everyone is eventually held accountable is an attention getting story line!
Well I'm thinking Caesar as well,
because we studied it in world history class, and I wasn't getting all that much into it.
but knowing the whole story,
I might become more interested in the topic.
It is an interesting story. Not completely historically accurate, but entertaining when you break it down. Ghosts, premonitions, brotherly love and deceit, etc. It is more entertaining than you would think. We will give a shot.
Julius Ceasar would be my choice also the kids need to learn that there is something other than WV studies as they were taught that in middle school
Julius Caesar. I looked them both up on Google and Julius caught my attention more then Antigone did.
Julius Caesar. Because of the dramatic flair of the story - it also can be related to things that happen everyday in school, friendships, life etc.
Pam,
I agree with you. The themes found in Caesar can very much be related to the ins and outs of a high school student. The ever evolving nature of friendships, choices, and the accountability of actions.
Thanks for your comments.
