his nature, there's the question2. It is the bright day that brings forth the adder;
And that craves wary walking.3. Crown him that, And then, I grant, we put a sting
in him, That at his will he may do danger with.4. And therefore think him as a serpent's egg

http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/drama/activities/still_image/still_image.shtml
A still image is a freeze-frame of a particularly dramatic moment in a performance. Using levels, posture, facial expressions and body language the actors can communicate a great deal to the audience about what has taken place without having to move or speak. See the example in this short clip.
CROSS-CUTTING is an dramatic technique most often
used to establish action occurring at the same time in two different locations. In a cross-cut, the audience’s focus will move away from one action to another action, which can suggest the simultaneity of these two actions. Suspense may be added by cross-cutting. It is built through the expectations that it creates and in the hopes that it will be explained with time. Cross-cutting also forms parallels; it illustrates a narrative action that happens in several places at approximately the same time.
1. Read lines 9-12. What is Brutus accusing Cassius of?
2. Read lines 18-28. What does this speech reveal to you about Brutus’s character and his motive for killing Caesar? (PEE)
3. Read lines 42-49. Put yourself in Cassius’s shoes. How might Brutus’s words here make you even more angry? (Think of a time when you were really angry and someone laughed at you for it. How did it make you feel?)
4. Read lines 65-83. Which famous fictional character can you compare Brutus to based upon this speech? Give reasons for your choice.
5. Read lines 100-107. Compare the ways in which an Elizabethan and a modern audience might react to this speech.
•Cassius’ past behaviour•Cassius’ present attitude•Portia’s death•Cassius’ accusations •the poet’s interruption•news of the death of 100 senators•news of the approaching armies•Caesar’s ghost
• a feeling of evil to come• an unfavourable omen • fateful: ominously prophetic
A balloon debate is a debate in which a number of speakers attempt to win the approval of an audience.
The audience is invited to imagine that the speakers are flying in a hot-air balloon which is sinking and that someone must be thrown out if everyone is not to die.
Each speaker has to make the case why they should not be thrown out of the balloon to save the remainder.
Who should go overboard:•Antony?•Cassius?•Brutus?
