Objective: SWBAT defend/prosecute Desdemona using the evidence they have collected from Acts 1-3 of "Othello."
Do-Now: What do you feel is your group's strongest piece of evidence for/against Desdemona. Why do you believe this piece of evidence proves she is innocent/guilty? Explain.
1) Debate: Is Desdemona innocent or guilty? Groups will have a chance to share their evidence with the class and discuss whether the evidence proves Desdemona is a loyal wife or a liar.
2) Note-taking: Pun = a play on words
Example: "No one is too poor to pay attention."
"A horse is a very stable animal."
"A hard-boiled egg for breakfast is hard to beat."
"Which president is least guilty? Lincoln. He is in a cent."
3) Class will begin to read Act 3, Scene 4. How does the clown use puns at the beginning of this scene? How does Othello react when Desdemona cannot find her handkerchief? To read Act 3, Scene 4 online CLICK HERE.
