Homework Offered
Students will be assigned an independent project in week 5. Each week students must read or watch an assigned portion of the play. Watching the performed version of an assigned portion will take less than an hour, while reading it can take 90 minutes or more, depending on the student's abilities. Students will also complete an out-of-class assignment, which would take less than 2 hours per week.
2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
Students will need a written or performance presentation of Julis Cesar. These can be purchased. However, there are free versions readily available online. 
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
There are references to mild violence consistent with Shakespeare's plays. Specifically, within the play, Caesar gets stabbed by several men. Shakespeare then has killers then bathe their hands in Caesar's blood (symbolism!). Another character asks to be killed, but this is not bloody or graphic. There is also a brief fight scene towards the end of the book. No scenes that include violence are long or linger upon. While the students who read the story will not actually see any violence if a student selected to watch a performed version that follows Shakespear's play verbatim its rating would be "G" in the United States or the equivalent abroad.
