Today, we finished Othello when we read Act 5.

We talked a lot about Desdemona and her inaction, what she could have done, and what she SHOULD have done.

We talked about Othello and why he committed suicide the way he did – was it to send his soul to Hell faster, or was it to escape living with the guilt of what he did?

Act 5 went by VERY quickly – we had LOTS of time to work on haikus and I even played the movie Othello. We’ll finish it tomorrow.

This is one of the images that we looked at today –  a canopy bed:

So tomorrow, the haikus will be due AND we’ll do the character chart. These two things will add up to a major grade – 150 points!

Hooray! We only have one more day to wake up early before the Thanksgiving break!
