Now that we finished Othello, we can do some assignments based on the play.

The first thing we did today was take a ten question “quiz” over appearances. This wasn’t for a grade, but just to prove the point that you can’t tell anything about a person based on their appearance.

Next, we did the Othello Journals. Make sure that you answer all five of the questions – if you don’t answer all of them, it won’t be marked as completed and I won’t be able to grade them.

After that, we did the Othello Guilt Excel worksheet. You are assigning guilt (or responsibility) to different characters in Othello. You numbers will need to add up to 100 (100%) and you do NOT need to use all of the characters. You are just assigning numbers at this point – no explanations (that comes up tomorrow).

Then, we read about medieval torture and decided on a torture that would keep Iago alive for a long, but one that Cassio would deem as a fitting punishment. The link to the webpage it blocked at school, so ask me for the pdf copy and I can send it you.

If you have any time left after that, you can work on the haikus if you still need to finish those. We are writing a paper tomorrow, so don’t miss it! The paper will be due on Friday!
