Social Classes In Julius Caesar

I intend to research social classes of Ancient Rome, their characteristics, and how they interacted with one another. Understanding this is important because of how hierarchical Roman society was. Ancient Rome was an extremely class-conscious society, and it is vital to understand these classes before reading Julius Caesar to comprehend the interactions and relationships between characters in various classes throughout the play. By conducting this research on social classes of Ancient Rome, I hope to learn about what daily life was like for each class. Roman social classes were intricate. I hope to help my audience fully comprehend the complicated relationships between the classes in daily life, so that they can apply this knowledge when reading Julius Caesar. Each class had its own dress, religion, food, and work, and my goal is to find out about these characteristics in detail, presenting them in an accessible way for my class.
To make the powerpoint more interesting, I will integrate pictures and videos. This will catch the attention of my class, and help make the topic more understandable. I want to teach my classmates about the lifestyles that go along with each social class, and I will do this by adding in media and bringing in props that help to explain the way each class lived. Specifically, I will be showing images of the clothing each class wore, items that represent their work, items used in worship for each class, and images of homes that people of each class lived in. My goal is to appeal to visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners, and I will do so with my images, speech, and props. The various forms of media used in my presentation will catch my audience’s attention and help them to relate to the social classes of Ancient Rome with material and visual examples of Ancient Roman
