On-Level: Julius Caesar Materials Act 3

Click here for Julius Caesar No Fear Shakespeare PDF

The final exam will cover all of Act 3. A review will be provided, but the bulk of the exam is coming straight from our classwork with these funeral speeches in Act 3. This means a lot of ethos, pathos, and logos.

The "orange packet" for Act 3 is made up of three documents from this folder: The Act 3 Questions, The Act 3 FITB Review (FITB stands for Fill-In-The-Blank), and Quote Hunt #2. If you have misplaced your copy of the orange packet, you will need to print out all three of those documents.

On block day this week, we are starting to read The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. This is one of my all-time favorite plays. It has the beautiful language of Shakespeare without all the mushy love stuff.

On-Level: Help with Reading Lord of the Flies

Youtube.com is an excellent place to find help with reading. 

Youtuber "t brent" is my favorite of all the Lord of the Flies readers. Go to Youtube.com and put this in the search bar: "t brent lord of the flies"

You will find that he has read the entire book. I like his recordings because he is easy to understand, and doesn't read too slowly. He doesn't get annoying and try to do a lot of "voices," but his reading is emphatic and easy to follow.
