Greetings plebeians,

Your 600-800 word essay is due Monday, June 03.  Be sure to use your original ideas; in other words, you are not permitted to plagiarize at all. You may not borrow ideas from other essays (unless you properly cite the work both in your paper and your works cited page). Sparknotes is not necessarily forbidden from your research; however, you don’t want to write an essay with generic ideas. You want your thinking to be fresh and insightful and that can only be accomplished when you take a risk with your interpretation.

For an ebook copy of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar use Project Gutenberg.

For an example of a properly cited essay on Julius Caesar, check out this example from Northern Michigan University.

The rubric used for grading your essay is this Rubric for Development of Literary Analysis

Have a Growth Mindset!

Yours,

Mr. Coey
