Objective:  I can use a talk-to-the-text method to translate the first two stanza’s of Cassius’s speech on page 828.

Bell:  Use the 4-Step Procedure for these words found on page 828:

awe(n)  great respect or adoration, sinews(n), Aeneas(n): Trojan founder of Rome from the Aeneid, bend(n), palm(n), Colossus(n) gigantic staute of Apollo, dishonorable(adj), stars(n), underlings(n), and conjure(v)

Activities:

1.  Show the word!

2.  Teacher models annotation strategy to translate verse 1 of Cassius’s speech.  Box unknown words; write question marks and notes for information that is uncertain; draw a golden line for an important line or main idea.  Then translate your golden line into the left column next to the verse.

3.  Think Pair/Share:  With your elbow partner, write the gist or summary of the next stanza or verse by using the annotation method above.

4.  Student as teacher explains his/her approach for that stanza.
