Julius Caesar

I chose Act 2 scene 1. This is were Artimdoris is waiting out side of the capital for caesar to arrive. I think this is significant because it shows that someone new about the conspirators and did nothing to try to stop them. If he had warned Caesar sooner he Caesar might of survived.

Learning Profile

1. I learn best through movement it will help me understand what is happening more often.

2. I need to sit in the front right hand side of the class so I am not distracted by things in front of me and my focus is on the front of the class.

3. The strategies that would help me in my learning are that I think just having something in my hand to squeeze will help me focus because I learn best through movement.

4. I would like my teachers to know this about me that I get distracted if there are noises going on around me and if to many people are talking to me I find it difficult to focus.

Art in the Renaissance


I chose this painting its called School of Athens and it was painted by Raphael. The exact date it was painted is known but it was painted between 1510 and 1511. This painting is a fresco. A fresco is a painting which is panted on to a wall for every body to see. In this piece of art there is a theme of education because the people in this picture are reading out of books and scrolls. There are  people looking over the people with the books and scrolls making it look like they are learning or reading along. There is also facial expressions there the facial expressions also help because we can tell if they are interested or bored and what they are feeling. you also tell by the more clear facial expressions that some of the people in this painting are old and some are younger. this painting shows what there education used to be like.

Driving Forces of the Renaissance

I believe that the rivalry between the city states was the driving force of the middle ages because it made the other city states have more rapid progress, and forced new ideas to be made.
