Unit 3
You will need your SpringBoard text to complete these activities:
- Review/discuss Cultural criticism (p. 258) and discuss application in Beowulf and Grendel. Discuss in relation to Othello.
- Complete and discuss Marxist Anticipation Guide.pdf.
- Think/Pair/Share Essential Question #3, p. 146.
- Introduce Marxist lens (p. 190)
- Discuss Marxist hierarchy (p. 269).
- Complete text pp. 270-271. Discuss.
- As we read Othello, students will trace themes, motifs, and details relevant to the Cultural, Feminist, and Marxist lens on these charts: Othello Evidence Log New Rev.docx; Perspectives in Othello_Lenses.docx. These charts make up your legal “cheat sheet” for the written portion of the Othello test. The more thorough your charts are, the higher your grade is likely to be on the test. You will be required to quote and cite evidence from Othello, but you will not be allowed to use the actual text. You will have access only to the information you have recorded on your charts. You will be allowed to use only HAND-WRITTEN charts on the test.
