Copy the information below on a blank sheet of paper in your notes--leave room to fill in the blanks

1. First we will take our Act 1 Quiz (Scenes 1 and 2--character maps only/NO TALKING)
2. When you are finished, go back and finish your questions for 1.3 (Act 1, Scene 3) from yesterday.
3. When that is complete, write down the following important quotes for Act 1 in your notes (in red below)--this way you won't have to go back and find them later when we write the essay--fill in the missing blanks for what the character is saying/its importance. We will add to this as we read the play.

Quotes for the Caesar Final Essay—Keep this running in the Caesar section of your notes throughout the play
(remember you can  use quotes from other people to describe a character in addition to the words they speak themselves.

This shows Caesar is superstitious.
