English 11: We wrote the Othello Test Today . . .

Tonight: Read at least five pages of your USSR book, please. Search the house for art and craft supplies to create your inside/outside character head. You'll want some markers, scissors, glue or tape,  magazines, cool letters, something embossed maybe?, fabric, cotton balls.

Tomorrow: Have all your notes prepared. We are going to start a small, creative response to the play, which will be due on Monday.

Friday: Writing a personal essay. Using our knowledge of the play, we'll put it in opinion-piece style, using personal and researched detail. You may write a personal piece on jealousy, appearance vs reality, relationships, liars or lying, telling the truth, listening, experience vs naivety, travelling to an unknown place, trying something new (how being from Victoria influences how you perceive the world). Lots of choice for this assignment. We'll read a number of pieces by Jack Knox who writes for The Times-Colonist and other local writers or radio personalities.
