Objective: SWBAT analyze Iago and describe how he is two-faced based on his actions and dialogue.
Do-Now: Describe a time in your life when someone caught you at your worst. Did you try to explain yourself? Did the person believe you when you told them you didn’t normally act that way? Why is it that actions often speak louder than words.
Today: 1) Class will read Act 2, Scene 3, focusing on how Iago uses the play’s minor characters in order to further his scheme toward revenge on Othello. What web of disaster in Iago beginning to weave? How might his evil get the best of him in the end?
2) Analyzing Iago’s third soliloquy. How can Iago be described as two-faced? Who does he pretend to be? Who is he really?
4) TWO-FACED: Students will divide an Open Mind into two sections. On one side, they will describe who Iago pretends to be and paraphrase what he says to the other characters to convince them he is on their side. On the other side, they will describe who Iago really is and paraphrase his evil plans from his soliloquies.
Exit Slip: If you were Othello, would you have administered the same punishment to Cassio? Explain. What may have been a more appropriate punishment for Cassio based on his crime?
