Shakespeare Survival Pack: Julius Caesar

29 activity worksheets with individual teachers’ notes, general teaching guidance and supporting text extracts in a 73-page PDF exploring Julius Caesar.

Accessible activities develop understanding of the plot, characters, historical setting and Shakespeare’s language. Students investigate dictatorship and democracy, loyalty and ambition, omens, honour and betrayal, speeches, dramatic tension and stagecraft through discussion, analysis, performance and imaginative writing.

Worksheets can be used separately or as a module. Notes provide aims, preparation, classroom approaches, differentiation and extensions where relevant. The pack also includes an Elizabethan stage diagram, pages for extended notes and selected passages used in activities; it is not a complete edition of the play.

Designed for English at KS3 and KS4, with simpler entry points and complementary work for more confident readers. Have copies of the play available. This is the original 1996 publication; historical curriculum and coursework references do not imply alignment with a current examination specification.
