Objective: SWBAT evaluate the effectiveness of figurative language in Othello.
Do-Now: Have you ever been accused of something you didn’t do? What were you accused of? How did it make you feel to be accused? What did you do/say in an attempt to free yourself from blame? Did the person who blamed you ever realize the truth?
Today: 1) Review figurative language: simile, metaphor, personification and hyperbole.
2) Class will begin to read Act 4, Scene 2 examining Othello’s use of figurative language as he insults Desdemona.
3) In groups, students will finish reading Act 4, Scene 2. Why is Roderigo upset at Iago? How does Iago respond? What is Iago’s new plan?
4) Iago's Web of Lies: Fill out a web to represent how Iago has managed to get each of the play's characters "caught" in his web of lies. What has he been doing/saying to get each character under his control and/or use each character for his own evil work?
Exit Slip: Find one of each (simile, metaphor, personification) in Act 4, Scene 2 of "Othello," copy the line and page #, and label which type of figurative language the line represents.
