As Act I highlights the role of the supernatural, using Bobby's study guide answers, we identified numerous examples of the supernatural in Act I and discussed the role of portents in the play and in Shakespearean drama generally. We then studied Cassius' speeches revealing why he and the co- conspirators need Brutus to join the plot in order to add legitimacy to a political coup. Bobby's homework on the study guide reflected a good understanding of the first act . However, to the extent we needed to modify responses ,we did so and further continued practicing using the text annotations to elucidate the dialogue. During the last segment of the session, we addressed Bobby's essay work. We corrected sentence fragments, and discussed where and how to start new paragraphs. We will continue the essay revisions tomorrow .For homework, read the next 3 pages of the play and answer one study guide question.
