I made sure that I explained the extra credit to everyone today (Othello Journals). It’s five prompts – in order to get the credit, do all five. I’m looking for QUALITY THINKING here rather than QUANTITY.

Then, we talked about the assignment for today: the Othello character chart. I don’t care whether you do this on the computer or on paper, but if you do it on the computer, please make sure that you turn it in as a PDF.

character chartHere 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:

Today, we worked on the Othello Character Chart (we did it on paper, but there is a file in BB that you can use). This should not take you the entire class period (if you know the characters).

Remember, Blackboard will be down on Tuesday, but you should be able to turn in assignments on other days.

Have a great week off and have a GREAT THANKSGIVING!
