My Julius Caesar English Tri-fold Project
In my Honors English class, we each had to do a project based on the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. The project I chose to do was a tri-fold poster over the various settings of the play and visuals to depict them. I chose this project because I am a poster project type of person and it was something I would enjoy doing. The 5 different settings I chose to depict with visuals from the play were the streets of Rome, Brutus' orchard, the Roman forum, the senate house, and the battlefields at Philippi. From this project, I learned that Shakespeare put lots of thought into the different settings of the play. For example, Brutus' orchard/garden is the setting where Brutus chooses to betray Caesar. This ties symbolically to the story in the bible of Judas' betrayal of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. I also learned a little about the Roman culture and the city of Rome itself by studying the Roman forum and the Senate House. The picture included is a picture of my tri-fold project.
