Today we’re working on our Othello projects. Please check the calendar for due dates! Don’t forget you’ve got a check-in tomorrow!
Wednesday April 2/14
Today we’ll start by discussing some memorization strategies. It’s not absolutely necessary to memorize your lines but your performance will seem much more natural if you do. We will also discuss your Othello essay which we will start working on in class next week, but there’s nothing stopping you from getting an early start if you want to.
Tuesday April 1/14
Today we’re having a second work period for the scene presentations. Please note performance date changes in calendar and remember you will be doing your in-class CCA questions on Monday.

Today I’m going to give you time to work on your scene presentations. In particular, you should be focusing on your annotated script. I have copies of the handout for you, but you can also download extra copies here: Blocking notes
Friday March 28/14
Work period and check in day today. If you can send me a digital copy of your project great! If not, I’m going to take a picture of it rather than have you hand it in.

Today is a work period for your Othello projects. I have the netbooks signed out for you.

Good morning! Today we’re going to start by taking up the archetypal tragedy chart for Othello.
Then we’ll talk about themes in Othello. If you’re away, download the following handout: Othello-Themes
I’d also like to take a look at the scene presentation assignment. This is going to be fun! Don’t worry if you’re not an “actor,” there are lots of different opportunities for everyone to shine in this assignment.

Today we’ll continue working on classifying Othello as an archetypal tragedy.
Monday March 24/14

We will still be working on this on Tuesday.
Today I will hand back your project proposals. Remember, your first check-in is this Friday. You need to be specific and make sure you fill out your check-ins.
