Objective: SWBAT evaluate Othello’s reasons for killing Desdemona.
Do-Now: If you were Othello, would you have believed Iago's "evidence" that Desdemona was cheating? Why or why not? How would you have reacted if you DID believe she was cheating? Explain.
Today: 1) Class will begin reading Act 5, Scene 2 pp. 271-283, examining Othello’s soliloquy as he decides to kill Desdemona.
2) Re-read Othello's Soliloquy: Do you see any reason or logic behind Othello’s decision to kill Desdemona? Where does Othello appear to let emotion overcome reason?
3) Students will continue to watch the film version of “Othello” in 20-25 minute segments, looking for similarities and differences between the text and the film.
Exit Slip: Was Othello justified in killing Desdemona? Why do you believe he felt that murder was the only way to punish her for being unfaithful?
