Abstract

This thesis is a report on an experimental method of teaching Julius Caesar. Chapter I contains a discussion of methods used in presenting dramatic literature. Also, the results of a survey conducted among leading textbook publishers asking why the play Julius Caesar was included in their anthology, and if they, as textbook publishers, would recommend student productions. Chapter II contains a record of a production of Julius Caesar as it was presented in the Dodge City Senior High School. Pictures of the production and explanatory materials are included in the Appendix. Chapter III presents conclusions which show that production offers the student many new opportunities; script reading for interpretation of character, practical experience in set design, lighting, costuming and make-up, along with a broader understanding of history.
