Objective: I will learn to identify subject compliments by completing exercises related to the topic with a group. I will also learn to identify Mark Antony's scheming brilliance which is couched in his three major speeches in the second half of 3.1. I will isolate the main idea by cutting the speech in half and then perform the speech chorally.

Read/Watch: Act 3.1

Discussion: Imagine that you have to talk to a group of men that have just murdered one of your friends. Discuss how they would feel doing this and what you would say. (think, pair, share)

Cut and Analyze: Your task is to cut speeches in half while keeping the essential meaning. Work through an example using the cutting text model handout. Note that the cut version need not be in poetic form but must retain the main idea. Base your actions on the speech and instructions below. Divide into groups of three and find Antony's speech on page 745, several groups will be working on the same speech which will enrich the activity. These speeches represent Antony's reaction to Caesar's murder—the same situation that the students wrote about at the beginning of the class. Students should cut their assigned speeches and then present the speech orally .When finished, students should offer justification for their cuts. Predict: What will happen in the next scene? Why? What evidence supports your claim? Submit lastname_prediction, to the flash drive. About 8-10 sentences should be sufficient. Grammar: Complete Lesson 6
