Eng 11 E: Read Act 5, scenes 1 and 2

If you were absent today, be sure to get all the notes from a friend as we filled the boards at least four times. Choose a strong note taker.

We read Act 4, Scene 3 aloud and took notes on that as well as discussing the work you did the previous evening on Scene 2. Tomorrow, we will watch Act 5 but it will not make sense if you haven't read the scenes.

We spent quite a bit of time on Act 5, Scene 2's first speech, as well, Othello's soliloquy. Read the side notes first as they help to set the mood. You have to understand why Othello is again returned to a position of honour.

Next week will be busy so get prepared now.
Your notebooks will be do. You will be creating a quote log, writing an essay and a test. If you have been absent during this unit or not keeping up to date, create a study group with whom to discuss key scenes.

Grade 11E essays are different from anything you have written before.
You will like it. Stay tuned.
