Objective: SWBAT evaluate how Desdemona’s handkerchief is being used as proof of her affair.
Do-Now: FREE WRITE (Write 5-7 complete sentences about anything you want)
Today: 1) What "proof" has Iago given to show that Desdemona is having an affair?
2) Class will begin reading Act 4, Scene 1. How is dramatic irony being used in this scene? What does Othello believe he is seeing? What is he really seeing?
3) In groups, students will finish reading Act 4, Scene 1. Answer the following questions: How is Othello beginning to treat Desdemona? Do you feel Othello has been given enough proof to believe she has been cheating on him?
4) Group Discussion: Class will discuss whether or not Othello is justified in his treatment on Desdemona. Is it right for him to treat her badly based on the “evidence” he was given?
Exit Slip: Why is Othello so willing to believe Desdemona is cheating on him? What does this reveal about his character? Why doesn’t Othello just ask Desdemona if she is having an affair?
