Stageit! Shakespeare Acting Tools for Students - Julius Caesar Grades 5-8

"Beware the ides of March" warns the soothsaying Chorus in this royalty free acting edition for students to prepare for and act in an abridged school play using Shakespeare's original text from one of his most famous tragedies.

There are ten characters, including the Chorus, that appear in the STAGEiT edition though parts can be double cast (requiring fewer students) or cast in choral character teams (requiring more students).

An entire chapter in student friendly language describes how to use the "Tools." Use of nouns, verbs, synonyms, and stage directions are explored in addition to Brutus' journey from loyal friend to savage slaughterer in a character study using archetypes. Additional features include: Cast of Characters (with pronunciations), Plot Synopsis, Paraphrasing Worksheets, and Acting Scripts along with a chapter about The Rehearsal Process, which includes how to note stage movement, and The Culminating Performance.

STAGEiT is conceived as a comprehensive series of interconnected companion titles. A "Professional Development Guide" and "Directing Tools for Teachers of Grades 5-8" are available separately.
