We read Othello Act 2 today. We had about 30-40 minutes to work on haikus today.
Iago said he wished that Cassio’s fingers were enema tubes. Here are few pictures of enemas and enemas tubes.
Word of the day: misogynist – a woman hater. Iago isn’t necessarily gay, he just doesn’t like or respect women. He especially thinks that they aren’t faithful. All women are “flirts” and adulteresses. His wife Emilia is a woman, so therefore she is an adulterer.
Today was a pretty simple day. We just wrote our values essay over the values in Anglo-Saxon life and the values in modern day American life.
We used the pre-writing from yesterday and the text structures to help us organize our thoughts.
I also reminded you that there were LOTS of resources in the Values Essay folder in Beowulf, including a list of suggested ways to start an essay (including examples).
If you need help, I can jump on your computer and give you English teacher advice. This is the only day in class that we will have devoted to this, so if you want English teacher help from me, get it either today or after school.
This will be due on Friday.
