Julius Caesar Oral

Julius Caeser Oral Assesment

CASSIUS
Will you go see the order of the course?

BRUTUS
Not I.

CASSIUS
I pray you, do.

BRUTUS
I am not gamesome. I do lack some part
Of that quick spirit that is in Antony.
Let me not hinder, Cassius, your desires.
I’ll leave you.

CASSIUS
Brutus, I do observe you now of late
I have not from your eyes that gentleness
And show of love as I was wont to have.
You bear too stubborn and too strange a hand
Over your friend that loves you.

BRUTUS
     Cassius,
Be not deceived. If I have veiled my look,
I turn the trouble of my countenance
Merely upon myself. Vexèd I am
Of late with passions of some difference,
Conceptions only proper to myself,
Which give some soil perhaps to my behaviors.
But let not therefore, my good friends, be grieved—
Among which number, Cassius, be you one—
Nor construe any further my neglect
Than that poor Brutus, with himself at war,
Forgets the shows of love to other men.

CASSIUS
Then, Brutus, I have much mistook your passion,
By means whereof this breast of mine hath buried
Thoughts of great value, worthy cogitations.
Tell me, good Brutus, can you see your face?

BRUTUS
No, Cassius, for the eye sees not itself
But by reflection, by some other things.

CASSIUS
'Tis just.
And it is very much lamented, Brutus,
That you have no such mirrors as will turn
Your hidden worthiness into your eye
That you might see your shadow. I have heard
Where many of the best respect in Rome,
Except immortal Caesar, speaking of Brutus
And groaning underneath this age’s yoke,
Have wished that noble Brutus had his eyes.

BRUTUS
Into what dangers would you lead me, Cassius,
That you would have me seek into myself
For that which is not in me?

CASSIUS
Therefore, good Brutus, be prepared to hear.
And since you know you cannot see yourself
So well as by reflection, I, your glass,
Will modestly discover to yourself
That of yourself which you yet know not of.
And be not jealous on me, gentle Brutus.
Were I a common laugher, or did use
To stale with ordinary oaths my love
To every new protester, if you know
That I do fawn on men and hug them hard
And, after, scandal them, or if you know
That I profess myself in banqueting
To all the rout, then hold me dangerous.

BRUTUS
What means this shouting? I do fear, the people
Choose Caesar for their king.

CASSIUS
  Ay, do you fear it?
Then must I think you would not have it so.


Context

This scene is performed in the very early stages of the play. It occurs right after the feast of Lupercal after Caeser’s return and Cassius pulls Brutus aside to have a word with him. This is a very significant point in the play since it is the first time the audience is introduced to Cassius and Brutus and therefore enables them to familiarize themselves with their characteristics.
This specific part of the play act 1 scene 2 and the lines to be performed are between 25-129. It will be performed as a monologue between Sara and I.

Learning Profile

During the class discussion, we are introduced to the dominance factor to decipher our individual learning profile. We had to undergo a small test that will single us out to a variety of different profiles. These profiles determined our weaknesses and explain what is best for our learning. The test shows which part of our body we usually used, including the ear, eye, hands and leg. Eventually, we are all divided into either a gestalt or a logic profile. And as for me, I am a gestalt learner. These profiles we end up having, define us how we would pay attention in class better.

I learn best when:

My sheet that I received was of a profile k, it reveals that basically I’m a visual person that would rather insist on seeing the visual instructions instead of reading through the instructions. It listed me as a visual learner who, when on stress have trouble with listening, communicating and moving. During times when I’m relaxed or easy going, these are the times where I focus better so that I can hear and communicate instructions easily. Being a gestalt learner, I tend to not stay in one place for a period of time and to move around and fidget. Also I would prefer not to follow steps-by-steps instructions and just do it without the instructions, and then when I’m stuck, I would refer back to the instructions and work. Apparently, my biggest challenge was to piece the whole picture to get through the smaller picture. Also to piece information together in a ‘linear logical manner to communicate’.

I need to

· Sit in the front row on the left side n order to use the left eye, which is the dominance factor for my part.

· A balance of art, music, movement and interpersonal skills.

· Read out loud, writing and drawing with the non-dominant hand

· When losing focus and concentration, I think that I would need to stop working for a while to relax and restart/refresh my mind. Then only work back again with a fresh mind to work and concentrate.

· Concentrate on my completing my work and not to procrastinate.

The strategies that would help me in my learning

· Through movement and focusing on the whole picture

· Having a visual model that would help me work with the subjects of the day; this would be more effective than having to read through instructions in a timely manner.

· Reading out loud slowly to fully understand instructions, and if I don’t understand it, read through it once more until I get the whole thing.

· Using diagrams and photos to show similarities and differences in things.

What I want my teachers to know is that I am a procrastinator but I do my work in a good manner that will result, eventually with quality that would be filled with my best effort. I usually hand in things late because I am lazy, sometimes and do my work after a long period of time. Also I would like to inform my teachers that I do eventually complete my work to turn it in. Another thing that I want my teacher to know is to use more visual and photos to help me follow the day’s instructions. During class, I fidget and sometimes take forever for me to concentrate and work and focus. Just do the same thing and remind me, to focus on work and also I tend to shot out of focus, but sometimes I do focus but I let my mind process through the day’s work/instructions. That is all I want my teachers to understand.
