First Reading and Writing Assignment:

Read the chapter either on Caesar, Cicero, or Cleopatra (in the Antony chapter) by Plutarch. You will find the chapters by putting in for your search on the internet Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans by Plutarch. The website should pop right up as one of the first search results.

The web address is ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/Plutarch/lives/.

Once you click on and get into the site, click on Table of Contents in the upper left hand corner of the web page and then scroll down the list of chapters to the one of the three you want to read and click on it.

After you read the chapter, go to Learn/Canvas and click on the first file that we used for the class that has the Practice Quiz and the lecture outlines for Prehistory/Ancient Near East.

After the practice quiz, you will find the page with the questions on the readings. Answer question one if you read the chapter on either Caesar or Cleopatra, just changing the name from Caesar to Cleopatra if you read about her. Answer question two if you read about Cicero.

Your answer should address all the parts of the question and be about a half (no shorter) to a page in length (can go longer). You can either type or handwrite your answer, but use a pen, not a pencil, if you handwrite your answer. Double space if you type your answer.

Use at least two short quotes from the chapter to support your answer with at least one of the quotes coming from later rather than near the beginning of the chapter. After your first quote, put the web address in parentheses after the quote; but you need not keep doing this for any other quote unless it is a quote from a different source than the chapter.
