An analysis of some problems in teaching dramatic literature with specific application to Julius Caesar.

Abstract

The problem is threefold: (1) to review professional literature to determine the place of dramatic literature in the language arts program, (2) to review the methods of teaching dramatic literature, and (3) to prepare a source unit which might serve as a guide for the teaching of Julius Caesar according to current professional thought. The writer assumed his research of professional information would indicate the most effective ways to promote understanding and appreciation of dramatic literature. As a language arts teacher, he felt the need for this study. [TRUNCATED]
