Does the Opposite Sex Ever Just Tick You Off? POW #4

In Act 2, scene I of Julius Caesar, we are introduced to our first female characters: the wives of Caeser and Brutus, and we see some sparks fly.  As we read this section, think about the way the couples interact, how they feel about each other, and what roles they take in their relationship. 

If you are a female, you will write two notes: one from Calphurnia to Portia and a response from Portia to Calphurnia.  If you are a male, you will write two notes: one from Caesar to Brutus and a response from Brutus to Caesar.  Both your notes should be in the same post and should include these items: 
  • Recount the conflict you had with your husband/wife.
  • Express your frustrations you have with him/her.
  • Express the ways you feel pressured to act towards him/her. 
  • Ask for advice from the person you are writing to and respond with advice.
This post is going to be worth more than the others.  It will be worth 30 points instead of 10, and this is what I will consider:
Did you follow directions and cover the four bullet points above? - 15 points
Is your post well-written (grammer, capitalization, punctuation, etc.)? - 5 points
Is your post at least 300 words long (about 150 words per note)? - 10 points

  3. Brendan,
    Go to "View Profile" and scroll down. It is probably still there. If not and you have to redo it, I will not count it late. Just get it done before Spring Break is over. So so sorry if it is not there, but I know that for some kids it was saying there were 0 blogs, but then it showed up when they went to their profile.
