English 11: Othello test tomorrow . . .

You will have an hour to write a paragraph on one of the soliloquies we studied during class. Look closely at the question so you know what to focus on. Create a what / so what chart so that your thesis will have the insight needed at the grade 11 level and then look through your notes for other parts of the play that you can connect to.

Marks awarded for writing style, excellent use of insight, ability to analyze the passage, create a strong thesis and use your notes to make connections.

Thursday: Hand in your Othello notes, only those notes based on class discussions and board work.

Thursday, we will create a final project on the play which will be due on Monday.

Next unit: Writing opinion pieces with humour and heart! January? Poetry and exam prep. Review of the compare / contrast essay.
