Objective: Students will complete assignments for Extra Credit to help boost their grades and set goals for themselves for the rest of the school year.
Journal: The semester will be coming to an end in a few weeks. What did you think your final grade for the third semester will look like? What goals do you have for yourself between now and the end of the year? What do you hope your final grade will be in this class? How do you plan on achieving that grade?
Agenda: In-Class Extra-Credit: All assignments worth 20 pts. each and due by the end of this class!
1) Scene Re-do: Rewrite a scene from Julius Caesar in your own words. You may choose to modernize the language and actions, as long as the content of the scene stays true to the original. Make sure your scene is written in the correct format and runs at least TWO pages long (longer if your dialogue is brief).
2) Draw a Scene (for artist's only): Choose a scene from Julius Caesar to draw. Since very little description is given in the play, use your imagination to draw what the characters/scenery look like.
3) Suicide Letter: Choose a character in the play who committed suicide. Compose a suicide letter written from the character's point-of-view explaining why he/she felt the need to kill him/herself. You may also want to include any of the character's last thoughts or wishes as well as messages to be given to his/her survivors. This letter will be about 20 sentences long.
4) Making a Movie: Pretend you are making a movie for Julius Caesar. Choose TEN of the characters from the play and explain which actor/actress you would choose for each role and why. Each explanation should be at least TWO full sentences which BOTH explain why you chose the actor/actress (not WHO you chose).
Homework: Goal Contract: Write down THREE goals you would like to achieve in English class during the rest of the year, then sign the bottom of the page.
