unit 3: Othello
Friday, July 21
For homework, your final essay must be submitted via the D2L Dropbox by 11:59 pm this Sunday night, and the hard copy, including the entire essay packet, must be handed to me as soon as you come into class on Monday morning. Also be sure to submit your Body Biography text summary and comparative paragraph via D2L. If I cannot check for plagiarism, you will receive a mark of zero on the hard copy. Finally, be sure to review your notes on Othello for our unit test on Monday during Block Two. Thursday, July 20 For homework today, finish the Graphic Organizer for your essay, if you did not finish it in class. You also need to finish the text summary for your Body Biography, and be sure to finish deciding on all traits and symbols you will use on your Body Biography illustration. Wednesday, July 19 First, let me say this: You are truly an amazing group of people, and you are working really hard. Well done! That is why, today, your only homework is to finish reading the last seven (7) pages of the play and decide which three (3) – or four (4) – characters you are focusing on for your Essay and your Body Biography. REMINDER: We are in the Learning Commons tomorrow for first block (8 am to 10 am). Please bring your laptop, if you have one. (We will also have a fire drill at 9:15 am, so we will need to use the exit near the library for that -- and follow our fearless leader. *smile*) Tuesday, July 18 For homework today, please finish reading the last eight (8) pages of Act III, scene iii, complete Act III Study Questions to the end of scene iii only (not scene iv), and finish answering all Act II questions and Act II Character Mapping (and any other work you may have fallen behind on), if you did not complete those tasks in class. You will have time to map tomorrow. Monday, July 17 For homework today, read the last eight (8) pages of Act I, scene iii; complete your Act I questions to the end of scene iii; complete your Character Mapping Sheet for all of Act I; and add to your Character Map (Character Web) as needed. :-) Friday, July 14 Nothing for the weekend – except to print out some notes from our website on Sunday afternoon. You’re welcome. ;-p Sunday update (9:50am): For some strange reason, weebly.com will not currently allow me to upload the Character Mapping Worksheet or the Character Map (Web) handout under "Resources." If you are checking in, please come back to the site after dinner, as I should have both of those files posted and will hopefully have completed (and been able to post) the question for all Acts by then, too. Thanks. :-) |
