Objective:  I can complete my translation of Brutus’s soliloquy in the left column of my T-Chart and identify claims, counterarguments, and poetic devices in the right column.

BW:  Use the glossary of literary terms in the “R” section of your textbook to find the definitions of these words:  metaphor, simile, and personification.

Activities:

1.  Share Out:  Think of real-life examples for these terms.
2. Think Pair/Share:  Complete the left column by providing an “exact translation” of Brutus’s soliloquy.
3. Use the hints at the board to find the claim points, counterarguments, and poetic devices that Shakespeare uses for Brutus’s argument.
