Caesar is all-powerful in Rome. The Roman Senate is subservient to him. All but the semblance of democratic government has been lost. What is a patriotic Roman to do? This is an accessible and well presented version of Shakespeare's classic play of political intrigue, assassination, and civil war in Ancient Rome.
The TeachWithMovies.com Learning Guide to Julius Caesar will help teachers and parents use this film to introduce Shakespeare and to discuss a critical period in the history of Ancient Rome. The background and discussion questions provided by the Guide raise the important issue of how one determines when the right to resist tyranny justifies assassination.

To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below a paragraph from the Learning Guide to Julius Caesar.
Rome grew from a small village along the Tiber River into
an empire that, at its height, ruled the civilized Western
world. The Roman Empire included most of Europe, the Middle East, Egypt and
North Africa. The Romans had a genius for organization,
administration, construction and warfare. They were
industrious and disciplined.
The Learning Guide to Julius Caesar also contains sections on the Benefits of the film, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
