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).
Then, we finished working on our essays.
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!
So today we start out Othello essay over guilt and responsibility.
You will need to have a thesis and organize your paper by paragraphs. Remember, a paragraph is a UNIT of THOUGHT, not 4-5 sentences.
So, here is a sample essay for a student:
This would be a 7 paragraph essay. It doesn’t mean its going to be 7 pages long – some paragraphs will be longer/shorter than other.
Instructions are in BB and give a lot of information. Go to BB:Othello:Guilt and Responsibility. The instructions, drop box, and the MLA template are all located in the drop box.
Use the MLA template for writing your essay – just replace the file with YOUR information,.
Also, your first paragraph needs to have an INTRODUCTION and a THESIS. The thesis is the last sentence of your first paragraph.
For your intro, you need BOTH the yellow and the blue! Here are some ways to write an intro and here is a way to write a thesis.
Then, write your content paragraphs and your conclusion. We will have a little time tomorrow to work on the paper, but NOT THE ENTIRE TIME.
