Julius Caesar: Discussions

Targeted at Year 8 groups, this resource embeds a range of relevant extracts that reveal alternative portrayals of Julius Caesar. In reading each extract (either in groups, independently or as a class), pupils can independently select words and phrases that support their inferences about Julius Caesar throughout the plot.

The resource stresses their AO1 skills of understanding and explaining the meanings in the text while also encouraging their AO2 skills of selectively analysing the effect of language choices on characterisation.
