Julius Caesar: by Shakespeare

During-reading Strategy: Bookmarks


The students will each receive their own bookmark blank, which they'll fill out as they read along.  The bookmark is both a visual organizer and a handy reference that they will always have with them as they read.  On one side, there will be a schedule of readings and page numbers, so the students will be able to see at a glance how much they have to read for the day, and how far along in the play they are.  Below that will be a list of characters in the play with a few blank lines below each.  These will be for noting any pertinent character traits or memorable lines, etc.  The back side will include a blank area for vocabulary and quotable selections.  To encourage the use of the bookmarks, I will leave some room around the edges to allow them to decorate their own, increasing ownership, as well as mention that these bookmarks will be available for any tests or quizzes that might come up during this unit.
