Octavious Caesar in the Flesh

Yes, it’s really him! 

Well… The paper version. It’s still him, even though he’s blue and only a few milimeters thick. 
Lately, my class has been learning about the characters in Shakespere’s plays. We were assigned groups, to make a cut out of a character. My group got Octavious Caesar, a fierce leader driven by power. 

First, we had to research. We set up a Google Doc and wrote down notes and information. Next, we selected a big sheet of coloured paper. My group chose blue, and honestly, it was because everyone else had red; we wanted to be unique just like Octavious Caesar. After tracing a body out, we determined where we would paste different pictures and facts over his body. It was a requirement to thoughtfully place photos and facts down where they made sense. An example is their backbone being some thing that drove them through life. Anyways, we planned out where they would go and then we pasted them on. 

  When we were finished putting quotes and pictures, we prepared to present. My group organized ourselves into order, from head to toe, literally. During the presentation, we described where we put our information and why. 

  
The crown was at his core, because it said he was the first Emperor of the Roman Empire. His power and work was what mattered most to him, and it drove him. The rings and icicles represent his three broken broken marriages. They’re at his heart because the heart represents love. We put his personality traits on his leg because your personality walks you through life. 
I learned a lot about not only Octavious Caesar, but also about all the other characters. I thought it was neat how we put the information in specific places and I’m excited to learn more.
