Objective IV-2

From Julius Ceasar By William Shakespeare SCENE III. A street. Enter CINNA the poet CINNA THE POET I dreamt to-night that I did feast with Caesar, And things unlucky charge my fantasy: I have no will to wander forth of doors, Yet something leads me forth. Enter Citizens First Citizen What is your name? Second Citizen Whither are you going? Third Citizen Where do you dwell? Fourth Citizen Are you a married man or a bachelor? Second Citizen Answer every man directly.

First Citizen Ay, and briefly. Fourth Citizen Ay, and wisely. Third Citizen Ay, and truly, you were best. CINNA THE POET What is my name? Whither am I going? Where do I dwell? Am I a married man or a bachelor? Then, to answer every man directly and briefly, wisely and truly: wisely I say, I am a bachelor.

Fourth Citizen For your dwelling,--briefly. CINNA THE POET Briefly, I dwell by the Capitol. Third Citizen Your name, sir, truly. CINNA THE POET Truly, my name is Cinna.

Fourth Citizen It is no matter, his name's Cinna; pluck but his name out of his heart, and turn him going. Third Citizen Tear him, tear him! Come, brands ho! fire-brands: to Brutus', to Cassius'; burn all: some to Decius' house, and some to Casca's; some to Ligarius': away, go! Exeunt

Objective IV-3

Two distinct opinions were expressed by the group of students. Some wanted to change the lunchroom procedure to an a la carte line in which each student would select and pay for only what he or she wanted. They felt that this would encourage more students to eat lunch and would be fairer. They were not concerned about whether each student would have a balanced diet. Another large faction did want to offer choices, but they wanted each choice to be a planned meal. The price would be the same for each, but one choice would be a salad bar, one a meat and vegetable plate, and one a sandwich and fruit choice. These students were concerned about balance and choices. The school board will vote next week.

1. Identify the basic pattern from four or five choices.
