I hope that you guys take a few minutes this weekend to remember why we have off.

Today, we read Act 2.2 and 2.3.

Afterwards, we created an outline of Iago’s brain. Think about Iago (or Othello) and decide which facts might play a small part in his thinking and what thoughts occupy much of his time. For example, a Roman centurion might really be concerned about his family back home, but in the interest of flip-flopping facts for humor, I might choose to make him really focused on a small concern and have him be more worried about his uncomfortable shoes.

We created a brain cartoon (you can use clip art or just draw a picture like the example). When you create your pie chart of the brain, make sure you make on of the slices bigger than the others. This is the punch line of your joke, and making it funny might involve picking a fact that isn’t really true or a funny truth you have uncovered. Whatever you choose, your cartoon should include key bits of legitimate information to ground the joke in reality.

Turn a paper copy is the old school drop box, and if you did it digitally, turn it in the drop box in Blackboard.
