Be thinking about betrayal and other potential universal themes as you read Brutus’s soliloquy

12. Follow along As the text is read

13. Annotate and identify claim
Work IN YOUR GROUPS to annotate and identify Brutus’s claim…Keep in mind Brutus is talking to HIMSELF… what is he trying to do/convince himself of? What is he trying to convince the audience of?
Annotate (highlight, underline) unknown words, mark what words/phrases might mean in modern English
Find details Brutus uses to SUPPORT his claim, as well as figurative language he uses to illustrate his reasoning
Write his claim on the bottom of your text

14. Charting text Charting text basically means to break it down
When we chart a text, we closely read what is on the page to determine both what the characters are SAYING and what the characters are DOING
When charting text, we write what the characters are saying (by translating and summarizing) in the left margin, and write what the characters are doing (what is the purpose of the character’s words? What is he trying to do?) in the right margin

15. Class practice- SAYING
_________________
He must die. Personally,
I have no reason to be upset with him
But for the people, it must be done. If he becomes king,
Would his nature change? That is the question
It must be by his death: and for my part,
I know no personal cause to spurn at him,
But for the general. He would be crown'd:
How that might change his nature, there's the question.

16. Class practice- DOING _________________
What is Brutus trying to convince himself of?
Brutus is trying to talk himself through this dilemma he is facing. He asks himself a rhetorical question to convince himself that Caesar’s nature will become evil once he becomes king
It must be by his death: and for my part,
I know no personal cause to spurn at him,
But for the general. He would be crown'd:
How that might change his nature, there's the question.

17. Group work- Chart the text
In your groups, you need to chart the text both LEFT and RIGHT
Most of you have already charted the LEFT side (translation), so begin working on the right side
RIGHT= what characters are DOING (purpose of character’s words, what is he trying to do?)
