Most famous dead
people lived interesting and memorable lives, but a few of those people died in
interesting ways too. Whether a historical figure, or a drunk author, dying can
sometimes be gruesome and messy.
Presented in individual stories and accompanied by times lines or
charts, death has never been more exciting.
Suggested lesson plan
Making connections between texts – Julius Cesar
After completing literary text (Julius Cesar), students will
read the informational selection on Julius Cesar’s death in How they croaked. Students will create a
graphic organizer discussing the similarities and variants in both texts.
Students should make note of different writing styles (informative and
narrative), and the similar author’s purpose. Students should support their findings
with textual evidence.
English 10th grade
(2) Reading/Comprehension
of Literary Text/Theme and Genre. Students analyze, make inferences and draw
conclusions about theme and genre in different cultural, historical, and
contemporary contexts and provide evidence from the text to support their
understanding.
Students are
expected to:
(A) compare and contrast differences in
similar themes expressed in different time periods;
(B) analyze
archetypes (e.g., journey of a hero, tragic flaw) in mythic, traditional and
classical literature; and
(C) relate the figurative language of a
literary work to its historical and cultural setting.
