10H
Caesar test prep for tomorrow:
1. Emotional intelligence
How is emotion overused?  Underused?
How does Shakespeare manipulate the characters and audience using it
2. Archetypes and stereotypes
What roles do the characters fill and how do they embody these roles in some cases, and stray from them in others?
3. Allusions
References in Rome to things that were more relevant to Shakespeare's England
Christianity references: Caesar's blood giving Rome life; Caesar becoming a Christ-like martyr for Antony and Romans
4. Shakespeare's series of unfortunate events model
What mistakes are made by the main four characters and why/how does this affect the direction of the play?

Essay writing:
We went through how to write the opposing argument and conclusion.
Here is a basic bare-bones version of the outline:
1. Intro- Define hero definition and your angle
2. Body 1- Hero's purpose
3. Body 2- How/when/where heroes are created
4. Body 3- Opposing argument acknowledging the opposition, but retaining your argument's higher value
5. Conclusion- Big picture relevance

We will be working on this for the rest of this week.  This is a working draft that we will revise after break, but this one will be graded for structure so make sure each paragraph uses the 5-Step model.
