In Mrs. Monteiro’s 10th grade English class, the students are required to read Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. Many of her students have heard of the play and are excited to read it. However, Mrs. Monteiro notices that her student’s interests begin to slip quickly as the reading proceeds. They complain that the language is too hard and they are bored. Which of the following would be a suitable strategy to cope with this situation?
  1. Modeling the effort required to read Shakespeare
  2. Showing a film version of the book
  3. Having students act out various scenes
  4. Have the students vote on a different Shakespearean play to read
Explanation
Answer: B - Showing a film version of the book. Showing a film is a suitable enrichment activity in conjunction with the reading of a text where the language will present a natural challenge. It does not have to be relied on for authentic content comprehension. It offers the students a chance to see the action they are also reading.
