We finished Othello today! As promised, we read an act a day.

First Block thought it was hilarious that Porfiro, who was reading at Iago, got to call me a “notorious whore” (multiple times, actually) and a “piece of trash.”

The Othello haikus will be due tomorrow. The haikus will be half a major grade (75), and the character chart will be the other half (75 points).

haikuAlso, I have provided an extra credit opportunity for you if you’d like. Just know that I am not allowed to give you over a 100 on your final grade, so if you end up with a 102, I can’t give you what you actually earned.

In Othello, there is a discussion board named Othello journals that you can do for some extra credit – I’d suggest doing this especially if you have LATE points taken off of your Marrow Essay.

Welp. We finished Othello Act 5 today. Some people weren’t very happy with the ending, but that’s the way the story ends! I love to hate Iago – he’s a great villain.

If you want to read about possible ways that the torture MAY have happened, there is a link in LMS (it’s the hand icon).

Finish those haikus and drop them off – I’ll print them and we can use them on the final exam if you need them.

Early congratulations to Zully, Nikki, and Jordan (and Lorena and Aaron!)
