Julius Caesar: Solo/Duet Performance Assessment

Artemidorus: Caesar, beware of brutus; take heed of cassius; come not near Casca; have an eye to Cinna; trust not Trebonius; mark well Metellus Cimber; Decius Brutus loves thee not; thou hast wrong'd Caius Ligarius. "There is but one mind in all these men, and it is bent against Caesar. If thou beest not immortal, look about you: security gives way to conspiracy. The mighty gods defend thee! Thy lover, Artemidorus.
Here will I stand till Caesar pass along, And as a sitter will I give him this. My heart laments that virtue cannot live out of the teeth of emulation. If thou read this, O Caesar, thou may'st live; If not, the fates with traitors do contrive.

Context: Artemidorus is writing a letter for Caesar about in ides of march and beware of conspiracy

Artemidorus is saying that Caesar beware of brutus, Casca, Cinna, Trebonius, Metellus Cimber, Decius, Caius Ligarius and cassius. They might kill you in ides of march. However Their is irony that is Caesar going to believe it or not. Therefore, Artemidorus is saying that "If thou read this, O Caesar, thou may'st live; If not, the fates with traitors do contrive.

I chose this passage because to show that also someone in the Rome who is on Caesar's side so that he wants to save Caesar.

My learning profile

I am a logic thinker with an "A" profile. I was suprised by the sheet because it was written as I learned best when I focus on the details and I have an ability to follow step-by-step visual and auditory instructions. When I first read this learning profile sheet I didn't never noticed and I thought I was very bad at those things. However, now when I think about my past experiences actually some were correct and it was just for me. For example, the language is very imprtant for learning but, I have to work more harder to improve myself.

I think my weakest part is doing work by step by step, I always prefer to do work step by step and to rememmber to do it, but I always keep forget it. Personally I think that is the reason why I keep loosing my points in test or in projects. also I am using only left brain because I use my right side of hand, leg and eye. Therefore, I would have some difficulties for connecting emotional informations. In this case, I have to particepate in class with possitive and enjoyable motion experiences will help me.

The strategy to help me with my learning would be to always think myself and remmber to work step by step so that I do not ever make any mistakes. Also try to use more my right side of brain so that I can hear and see more efficiently.

The teachers may want to know about me that I really like to sit in front!!! It helps me to particepate in class so that I don't talk with my friends so that I do not miss any keypoints and also to sit infront may help me because I will ask more questions and answer more qustions so that I understand better and focus more.
