An outline for a scheme of work for William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. This scheme of work is in use at my current school. Following completion of the scheme, classroom teachers then teach or upskill students in areas where they need. This is done and planned by each teacher individually as they understand the needs of what each class needs in terms of consolidation and understanding of their knowledge. Good luck and thank you!
