"Et tu, Brute?"

I am homeschooled. When one is homeschooled, one can learn quite a lot. Sometimes it is learned in a not so entertaining way. Other times, it is quite interesting. For example, going to the pond once a week to observe different plants and animals throughout the year. Or directing a play about Julius Caesar.

This is a video of our one scene Julius Caesar play. It is modeled off of Shakespeare's own Julius Caesar assassination scene. If you have ever read this play, you might have a chance at understanding what is going on, but let me explain anyway.

First of all, the weird noise is the baby in pink playing with a toy in the middle of our act. The rest of the actors are my younger brothers.

Eric is Caesar. He is sitting in the chair and is wearing a blue robe and a camo hat (his crown).

Will is Brutus. He is standing next to Caesar's throne.

Richard is Cassius. He is the one with the cow and the camo robe (we really like camo).

Brad is Casca and Pompey. He has a space robe.

Caesar enters and takes his seat. The conspirators pretend to want to talk to Caesar then begin stabbing him. The race track and rain stick are swords. Caesar grabs Cassius' sword and giggles. After being stabbed by Brutus, Caesar falls at the feet of the Pompey statue (formerly Casca) and wails out a tragic, "Et tu, Brute?" before dramatically dying.

While it still may not make much sense, I think that is turned out quite well for the resources that we had. So here's the video and let me know what you think:
