GCSE Julius Caesar Revision Workbook

GCSE Julius Caesar Revision Workbook is a five-mission activity book for the Shakespeare set text, board-neutral across AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC/Eduqas and mapped to the DfE subject content and the Assessment Objectives (AO1 informed personal response with references, AO2 analysis of language, form and structure, AO3 context). Students follow the plot — Caesar’s triumphant return to Rome, the Soothsayer’s warning to beware the Ides of March, the conspiracy in which Cassius persuades the honourable Brutus to join the plot, the assassination and Caesar’s dying words to Brutus, Mark Antony’s funeral speech that turns the Roman mob against the conspirators, and the civil war that ends with defeat at Philippi — and get to know Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, Antony, Casca and the Soothsayer. Three short, certain public-domain quotations are printed as focal blocks (“Beware the Ides of March”, “Et tu, Brute?” and “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears”) so pupils can practise close reading of methods such as rhetoric and dramatic irony and connect them to the themes of power, honour and persuasion, all in the ancient Roman context of a republic that feared kings. Plot, character, theme and quotation questions are auto-marked on screen, while open quotation-analysis and essay-planning tasks build the extended writing examiners reward. The whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and student notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
