Do-Now: What evidence would you need to believe someone was cheating on you? What would you have to hear? What would you have to see? Would you trust what others were telling you about your significant other? Explain.
Today: 1) Review Act 3, Scene 3. What does Iago tell Othello to convince him Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio?
2) Continue working on Defending/Prosecuting Desdemona: Now that you have collected pieces of evidence from Act 3, Scene 3, you may look at the other scenes we have read. Where in Act 1 or 2 can you find evidence to defend/prosecute Desdemona? Remember, if you are defending her you are finding evidence to prove she is a loyal, loving, trustworthy wife. If you are prosecuting her, you are finding evidence to prove she is a having an affair with Cassio and can't be trusted. For each piece of evidence, make sure to copy down the page #, the quote, and an explanation of how the quote either proves or disproves Desdemona is cheating with Cassio. Remember, the evidence can be quotes from Desdemona herself or quotes where other characters refer to Desdemona. Your group will submit ONE paper by the end of class today. Each valid piece of evidence will receive 2 points and each valid piece of evidence which no other group found will receive 5 points. The group with the most points gets a prize on FRIDAY!!!
