Caesar has good reason to worry about Cassius and if Cassius was his only threat, he would have survived the assassination plot. It’s the threats he couldn’t see that lead to his death. Those threats include his best friend Brutus and other noble Romans.
So what are we overlooking as we prepare for the upcoming school year? We can prepare for known threats, but how are we preparing for the unknown? What habits are we establishing in the classroom that will help us recognize and extinguish classroom problems?
I did a podcast episode long ago on the one habit that changed my career.
I’ve got a warning for you: If you don’t have good lesson plans, your class might be a disaster. That’s why I have 2 resources for you in the show notes:
(1) If you’re looking to make your summer a little more productive or perhaps you want to free up some time and not take the metaphorical knife to the back in the fall, I’ve got great news. I’ve created a course specifically designed for ELA Teachers on how to create a semester’s worth of lesson plans in just a few days. So imagine having all your lesson plans done for the entire first semester or even the entire year on the first day of school.
(2) I’ve put together a collection of Julius Caesar lesson plans over at ELACommonCoreLessonPlans.com. Of course, you can find more than just Julius Caesar lesson plans.
