Today we just worked on the Othello chart.

Here is a brief explanation of each column:

• Relationship – what is his/her role and relationship to the other characters.
• Strength – what does this character do well
• Weakness – what is this character’s downfall
• Defining moment – What is the moment when we get to see this character’s TRUE colors – who she/he REALLY is.
• Essential question – What is the one MOST important question to ask the character.
• Symbol – draw a quick symbol that represents an aspect of that character’s personality, role, or importance.

Here is a sample chart you can look at for a different book:

Then, we finished the Othello haikus.

Easy!
