This literature guide has several activities that I found very useful in the classroom. I liked that it was broken up by act providing specific activities and graphic organizers for each act corresponding to the events and specific literary elements present within that act. There are also great project ideas.

I teach High School English, all grades, in a private school and at the local homeschool co-op. In order to pull together a well-rounded set of lessons, I recently purchased several different study guides for Julius Caesar. This one stood out above them all. Its logical structure was easy to use and its scope deep enough to teach without overwhelming. Soon, I found that I was returning to the lessons in this book again and again - to the exclusion of all of the other study guides I purchased.

Each worksheet in this book gave my students such an in-depth look at, and understanding of, specific literary devices and techniques that everyone passed my notorious end-of-unit exam. Some only by one point, but EVERYONE passed.

Because of this, I have begun using Secondary Sources to the exclusion of all other brands in order to teach specific literary devices and techniques. I highly recommend it for your classroom, as well.
