Today: We reviewed the questions above and read aloud in pairs. We finished Act 2, Scenes 1 and 2 and started scene 3. Tomorrow, we will finish the scene and watch the film version.

We added two new vocabulary words. I collected the poem/para. that was assigned last Friday. Check Friday's blog. I have marked and returned the stories submitted yesterday and I marked and returned the vocabulary quizzes.

Be sure that you know what is motivating Iago. Re-read his soliloquies. Take careful notes during class. Be sure to ask for clarification when something is unclear.
