Wednesday, March 21

Objective: SWBAT describe how a song can be used as foreshadowing in a play.

Do-Now: Based on Othello’s actions, do you believe he is now fully convinced that Desdemona is cheating on him?  What might he do now because he believes she cheated?  What evidence from the text leads you to believe this?

Today: 1) Review foreshadowing

2) Class will read Act 4, Scene 3.  How can Desdemona’s “Willow” song be viewed as foreshadowing?  What might be about to happen next in the play?

3) Writing Assignment: Re-read Emilia’s monologue at the end of the scene.  What are Emilia’s opinions on husbands and marriage?  Do you agree or disagree with each of these opinions?  Explain and give examples.  Response should be a minimum of TEN complete sentences.

4) Introduce "Othello" Project

Exit Slip: How is Desdemona's "Willow" song used as foreshadowing in the play?  What is the song about?  How does the song hint and what will happen later in the play?
