Othello (English 10 Regular)

Students in English 10 will be reading Shakespeare's classic play of jealousy and betrayal, Othello. In addition to reading this exciting tale, students will have the opportunity to work with professional actor-teachers from Great Lakes Theater Festival, they will be viewing portions of 2 versions of the play (classic and modern), and will be creating their own movie trailers in small groups. Until our books come in, please download the appropriate files and keep up with the reading! Also, see the January and February Calendar!
