Project: To create a verbal-visual essay about your character or theme. Choose a character (Othello, Roderigo, Iago, Desdemona, or Emilia) or a theme (love, jealousy, fear, passion) and create its HEAD. (See samples in the classroom).
Create a what / so what chart before you begin so that you can go beyond the obvious in your thesis about the character.
Write the thesis on the sheet. Prove your thesis by putting the quotes on the page in a creative manner and also prove your thesis visually by having parts of the brain (lift up to show the other side) or draw another head upside down to reveal what is hidden.
You are to show the two sides of each character. Even Desdemona has a second side
as she is so naive to man's duality that she loses her life to goodness.
OOOO almost a thesis there, eh?
Due date: Monday, Dec. 15.
Marks awarded for a strong, clear, insightful thesis, five key quotes, the what / so what chart with insightful opinions, your visual display, your use of texture, colour, and symbol to verbally reveal your topic.
