Objective: SWBAT analyze a character’s motivations for his/her actions.
Do-Now: What do you believe makes a person fall in love with someone? What might a person do/say to make someone fall in love with them? Can love be based entirely on someone’s physical appearance?
Today: 1) Teacher will review character motivation. What motivated Iago and Roderigo to tell Barbanzio about Desdemona and Othello’s marriage? Teacher will introduce soliloquy and explain how it is used to express a character’s inner thoughts and ideas to the audience.
2) Class will read Act 1, Scene 3. According to Desdemona, what motivated her to marry Othello? According to Iago, what is motivating him to seek revenge on Othello?
3) Analyzing Iago’s soliloquy. Students will take a closer look at Iago’s soliloquy. How does Iago characterize himself in this soliloquy? What inferences can be made about him?
4) Students will re-write Iago’s soliloquy as a song/rap, making sure to express the main ideas.
