Awhile ago we started a new unit in class. The unit is about Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar. To get to know the characters better, we did a small project in class where we had to create a large paper cut out of our assigned character and put a bunch of images and a few words to represent major events in the Roman’s life. We were split into groups of about 5 people and my group was assigned Marcus Brutus.
His life was very…interesting, to say the least. He was born on June 85 BC and a little while after his father died and he was adopted by his uncle. When he was older he got very involved with politics and became an emperor. Brutus had joined the conspiracy against Caesar and took part in the assassination of his friend. Marcus Brutus was involved in two war engagements where he battled against two forces. Brutus won the first engagement but had been defeated in the second. He retreated from the battle and not long after decided to commit suicide. Here’s our group’s recreation of Marcus Brutus:
