Othello - Day 7

We'll start today by hearing the speeches you wrote for Iago, using a combination of words from his soliloquies and your own.  What are your thoughts about Iago at this point in the play?

Then we'll turn our attention to Othello. You'll stay with the same partner for the two parts of this activity:

1. I'll assign you a page from Act I to read over - you are looking for any language about Othello, specifically, words used to describe him or things said about him. You'll enter your words (and phrases) into the first chart on this spreadsheet:
1. 1st period
2. 3rd period
2. I'll assign you a speech said by Othello. Your assigned section might include some lines said by other characters - read those to make sure you follow the story. Choose one or two lines as representative not of what Othello is talking about, but how he is talking about them. What is his tone, his mood, or his emotion? You'll enter your words (and phrases) into the second chart on the spreadsheet from above.

When you are finished, we'll all look at these charts together to get our heads around our impressions of Othello after the first two acts of the play.
