We are officially back in the classroom and starting a new unit today: Othello! In the Othello folder, please print the list of Othello words to One Note. These are all words that are used to describe the main character Othello. Your task: categorize them by POSITIVE, NEGATIVE, of NEUTRAL.

• If the word is positive, highlight it PINK.
• If the word is negative, highlight it BLUE.
• If the word is neutral, highlight it YELLOW.

If you don’t know what a word means, LOOK IT UP. You have the computer right there – it takes maybe seven seconds to do so.

Afterwards, on a Post-It, write a 1-2 sentence prediction over what you think the character Othello will be like BASED on the words on the list!

A lot of those words were stereotypes and racist comments regarding a black man in Shakespeare’s day, and it was a great segue to talking about Italian stereotypes in Jersey Shore.

We watched the trailer for Season 4 and then got with a partner. Each team or group was given a different article to read about Jersey Shore. After you and your partner read the article, answer the following questions:

Do this on a separate sheet of paper and turn in with ALL names.

Lastly, you had time to work on the Obituary Diorama Foldable that we talked about last Friday. You can find the instructions here and the word cloud website here.

We start reading Othello tomorrow, so make sure that you keep up with all majors – you don’t want to go on Thanksgiving Break with ZEROS!
