1. Quick Write: Iago’s Internal Conflict Write about each scene in your notebook. What do we know from each scene?  What is the conflict?  How does this conflict impact the story line?  How has your opinion of Iago changed or deepened? 2.1.182-193 2.1.308-334 2.3.356-382 2.3.404-411

2. Notes: Introducing Quoted Evidence Tag Lines: Begin a quotation from the text with an introductory or transitional phrase.  According to Shakespeare, “….  Later in the play, the speaker claims “….  Initially, the author shows “….  Another example is when “….  Or just incorporate the quotation into the sentence.  The Senators were curious about Othello’s side of the story when “Did you by indirect and forced courses subdue and poison this young maid’s affections?” (Shakespeare 1.3.111-112).  The Duke wanted to prove Othello’s story accurate when he “fetch[ed] Desdemona hither” (Shakespeare 1.3.120).

3. Notes: Quoting Evidence (Punctuation) Quotation Marks: When you rewrite what the author wrote word-for-word, all of that textual evidence must go in quotation marks.  Example: In Othello, Rodrigo refers to Othello and says, “I would rather be his hangman” (Shakespeare 1.1.31).  Example: Iago comments to Rodrigo “How poor are they that have not patience!” (Shakespeare 2.3.370). Periods:  If the quotation ends with a period, move the period outside of the quotations AND put it AFTER the citation.  If the quotation ends with a question mark or exclamation point, then put it in the quotation marks. In addition, put a period after the citation in parentheses.

4. Notes: Citing Evidence All citations go in parentheses after the quotation but before the period. Citation for a Book:  (author’s last name page number)  (Orwell 42) Citation for a Shakespeare Play:  (author’s last name act#.scene#.line#’s)  (Shakespeare 2.2.46-48)

5. Scoring of Formative #2 Completion of assignment with a claim = 5 points Evidence #1 = 2 points  Quoting the evidence = 1 point  Paraphrasing or summarizing does not count.  There should be a tag line.  Citing the evidence = 1 point  Citation is in parentheses after the quotation and before the period.  Citation is in the correct format for the type of text. Evidence #2 = 2 points  Quoting the evidence = 1 point  Citing the evidence = 1 point

6. Formative #2 On your half sheet of paper, write a claim for one of the following 2 questions.  Why does Iago want Desdemona’s downfall?  Why does everyone still trust Iago? Then, find 2 pieces of textual evidence to support your claim.  Be sure to QUOTE your evidence (instead of paraphrasing).  Also, be sure to correctly cite each piece of evidence. If time allows, read your independent reading book.
