Objective: SWBAT analyze Iago’s misogynistic views on women and explain whether or not his views are accurate or flawed.
Do-Now: What are some common stereotypes associated with women? Do you believe these stereotypes are true? Explain. How are women often characterized as being different from men?
Today: 1) Teacher will introduce to the class the concept of a misogynist. How have both Troy and Walter shown themselves to be misogynistic? What have they said/done to show they have prejudice against women? How have men historically shown prejudice against women?
2) Class will read Act 2, Scene 1, focusing on the misogynistic comments Iago makes about women. Are these comments accurate or are they bias?
3) Debate: Class will take another look at the comments Iago made about women and discuss whether or not there are any grounds for accuracy in what he says. What historical influences might contribute to his bias?
Exit Slip: What do you think of Iago at this point in the play? What type of person has he shown himself to be? What do you predict may happen to Iago?
Homework: Turning the Mirror Around: Now that Iago has bashed women in the play, it is time for some men-bashing. What stereotypes are associated with men? Write an additional scene for the play in which Emilia has a chance to defend herself from Iago by criticizing men the way Iago criticized women.
