Julius Caesar FINAL WRITING ASSIGNMENT: Essay Prompts, Advice, Rubric | EDITABLE
By Rigorous Resources for High School English
Looking for a final writing assignment on Shakespeare's Julius Caesar? This resource features everything you'll need to lead students through the process of writing an analytical essay about Julius Caesar.
The resource features 5 writing prompts which will motivate students to think with nuance about important themes in the play. The resource also includes scaffolding to help students select evidence, generate an outline, and begin writing. For teachers, the resource features an assessment rubric which can be used to grade and provide feedback on students' analytical writing.
As a bonus, this resource also features a two-page handout on how to embed quotations within an analytical essay. The handout provides students with three techniques for framing textual evidence: the block quotation, the clause-and-colon method, and the integration of short quotations into one's own sentence.
Here's what you'll find in this editable 10-page resource:
- Analytical Writing Assignment: Challenge students to take their interpretations one step further by writing an analytical paper on Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Let students choose from one of 5 thought-provoking sample topics — or invite them to develop a topic of their own. Writing schedule, outline template, and rubric included. (4 pages)
- Framing Quotations: This handout provides students with advice about how to embed textual evidence into a body paragraph. The handout familiarizes students with three different methods for framing quotations: the block quotation, the clause-and-colon method, and the integration of key words and phrases within one's own sentence. (2 pages)
- Outline Template: Provide students with the scaffolding necessary to write a five-paragraph essay. This outline template challenges students to fill in a text box for every part of their essay: hook, thesis, topic sentences, evidence, analysis, and conclusion. (3 pages)
- Assessment Rubric: Evaluate student essays in a quick and efficient manner by using an analytical writing rubric. (1 page)
The entire unit will come to you in two separate formats: Word Docs *and* PDFs. Because the Word docs are fully editable, you'll be able to customize them to match the skill levels of your students year after year. If you don't have Microsoft Word, you'll still be able to access PDF versions which are easy to navigate and quick to print.
Rigorous Resources is your one-stop shop for top-quality resources on William Shakespeare. Wishing you an amazing experience with teaching the Julius Caesar.

Graphic organizers can be helpful as a visual aid when students are writing.
Helps students focus on their thoughts for planning, decision-making, and writing an essay
Helps students see the connections, patterns, and relationships between facts, concepts, and ideas
Organizers provide a visual depiction for writers by showing them where each piece of the essay is placed within an essay
Spider maps are used to display the main concept or idea in a circle in the middle of the map and supporting ideas branch off from the main concept circle.
I hope your students/children enjoy this concept map by understanding the importance of why a graphic organizer is needed, as well as understanding the variables of a concept map.
The Spider Map is in Google Slides, Powerpoint, and PDF formats.
Happy Writing!

MLA Format Checklist Handout for Google Docs with Visual Examples
By Christina Bush
It's one thing to tell students that their papers need to be in MLA format, but it's another to actually give them an example AND the steps to make those adjustments. This comprehensive checklist is a perfect tool to help your students learn for themselves in our digital world - starting with adjusting their essays to MLA format on Google Docs!
What is this resource?
This resource provides students with a labeled example of an essay written in MLA format, as well as a step-by-step guide on how to make each adjustment in Google Docs. This guide even includes icon images so students can get a visual of what these tools look like!
How do I use this in my classroom?
In my writing units, I format the students' rough drafts before I assign it to them on Google Classroom, but they have to format their papers themselves when it comes time for them to type up their final drafts. I give them this checklist when I first assign the Final Draft assignment and give them time to follow the steps themselves. I facilitate and answer questions as needed.
What's Included?
- A Comprehensive Checklist of steps to follow in order to adjust an essay to be in MLA format on Google Docs - in color!
- Black & White option of the Checklist
- A clearly-labeled example of an essay typed in MLA format
