"Friends, Romans, Countrymen...lend me your ears" ----seriously, listen.

Copy these notes in either your notebook or somewhere in the Act 3 section of your packet (page 32?):

*Ambition/ambitious-having or showing a strong desire and determination to succeed (Antony of Caesar); some also use it to mean power-hungry (Brutus of Caesar)

*Honorable-worthy of honor: highly respected

Synonyms: honest, moral, ethical, principled, righteous

(Marc Antony calls the conspirators honorable—is he being serious?—he says they are, then describes their actions)
*noble--having a high rank or social status; having or showing fine personal qualities or high moral principles and ideals.

Mutiny-a rebellion overthrowing the “captain” or whoever is in authority/charge

This is probably the most famous scene in Julius Caesar. Remember, Marc Antony promised Brutus he would abide by 3 rules in his speech at Caesar's funeral:
1. He would let Brutus speak first
2. He wouldn't put any blame on the conspirators
3. He can praise Caesar as much as he wants, but tell the people the conspirators allowed him to
As we read, try to think about if Antony abides by these rules or not (this will be the Quick Write #3 topic)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next-- we will read Marc Antony's speech a second time to annotate (the more annotations you do, the easier your job will be later)

Annotations:
1.Circle every time you see the following words:
ambition/ambitious
honor/honorable
noble
2. Circle question marks/exclamation marks
3. Underline/highlight (with a different color if you already used a highlighter) any words you see that indicate negativity--sad/bad/evil/anger/death/violence
4. Mark with a star where you believe:
*the commoners are sympathizing with Marc Antony
*the commoners seem to change their mind and hate the conspirators.
