How should i recite my lines for Julius Caesar?

I have to recite these lines from Julius Caesar infront of my class..

Friends, Romans, countrymen, give me your attention. I have come here to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do is remembered after their deaths, but the good is often buried with them. It might as well be the same with Caesar. The noble Brutus told you that Caesar was ambitious. If that’s true, it’s a serious fault, and Caesar has paid seriously for it. With the permission of Brutus and the others—for Brutus is an honorable man; they are all honorable men—I have come here to speak at Caesar’s funeral. He was my friend, he was faithful and just to me. But Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man. He brought many captives home to Rome whose ransoms brought wealth to the city.

Basically Marc Antony is saying how Caesar was a good guy and he did not deserve to die… but i have to memorize these lines and preform them in front of my class and i dont know what should i do ?? what kind of props should i use. Everyone else is going to just get a TOGA but i wanna do something diffrnet PLEASE HELP1!!!

I am doing a book report about important roman people. And my partner and I are mostly focusing on the women. We are planning to paste pictures and their names on the poster board. We will also have the types of clothing that they wear (togas, etc.) but we can’t seem to find any good information or pictures. So if anyone is willing to list some websites with information and pictures that would be wonderful :D

This is due Monday..So we have about 4 days or so. Best answer and most help gets 10 points :D

How to make a Greek goddess (Athena) costume?

Okay, so I have a Halloween party in a couple of days, and I was thinking of dressing like Athena. For the most part, I know what she looks like so it’s just a matter of making the costume. I need step by step instructions or something (maybe a video?) about how to make the dress. Would it look bad if it was made out of a sheet? Any other tips are welcome as well(: Thank you!

Is America smothering the sexual nature of men?

I’ve been hearing allot lately from the heterosexual community, which includes the all-influencing barsexual girls, the general consensus that women are naturally sexier than men because they were made to seduce men. This got me thinking about the stone ages which got me thinking about men in togas and then I had my epiphany:

How much of the visual nature of men is actually explored in modern day society? Do men wear toga like outfits? Do we even see the male leg, which the Greeks put spectacular focus on, under all those baggy, insecure jeans? In fact the Greeks (and Romans) got it all right: the sandals, the showing of only half the male chest, the softness of the men, the fabrics that are draped rather than boxed on. Here all we get is an over muscled chest and loads of "overcompensation".

How can we say women have a deeper sexuality when we aren’t even willing to explore vital parts of male sexuality? Are any women or gay guys with me?
Zzz the Greeks didn’t wear dresses, they wore togas…
