Julius Caesar: Solo/Duet Performance Assessment


Shakespeare wrote his plays to be acted, not read. Therefore, one of the assessments for the Julius Caesar Unit is for you to act out a significant passage from the play. You may perform solo or choose to act alongside a peer in a duet performance. Please check Moodle for the description of the assessment and the rubric.

In order to prepare for this performance assessment, you need to choose a passage and complete a blog post that answers the tasks outlined below.
  • State the context of the passage (This is only 1-2 sentences).
  • Explain the meaning and the significance of the passage (This is a well-developed paragraph).
  • Identify the passage's ACT/SCENE/LINES.
  • Copy of the passage (You can copy and paste this from an online source.  Be sure to check that it copies accurately).
  • If you are part of a duet, identify your partner.
This post is due by Friday, February 25th.


Performance exemplars are provided below to serve as a guide.
