So, the other day, we started a new unit. On *drum roll*

JULIUS CAESAR! So, we’re not only learning about the Shakespeare version of him, but also the actual Roman guy. Yeah. So the first part of our unit was to do something called a Body Biography.

What this is:

It’s pretty much where you trace out someone’s body, and put symbols important to that person’s life in certain places. For instance, I love food, so in my body biography, food would go on my heart.

But, unfortunately, we didn’t do me. We did some old dude called Octavius Caesar. Yeah. He was Julius’s heir, and was a really famous military dictator. Here’s a breakdown of what we put where.

Heart: Three Rings With Icicles.

This shows that he had three broken marriages. Two of them were divorces. But even though he got married  three times, his heart was cold and hungry for power.

Spine: Crown.

Normally, the spine represents someone’s backbone. And Octavuis’s backbone was his kingdom, or his empire.

Hand: Sword.

This shows that not only was he strong mentally, but also physically. How else would he have been a dictator?

Brain: Lightning Bolt.

Yes, we did purposefully put this on his forehead to reference Harry Potter. I’m a nerd. Anyways, this shows that he thought a lot about power, and gaining it.

Yeah. Body biographies! That’s all for this post

Read ya later alligators!
