Students were introduced to the questions from Monday's Lit exam paper and then asked to consider the title: Write about the ways Coleridge tell the story in the first section of TROTAM. A paragraph was modelled on the board via class contribution before students were asked to construct their own paragraph relating to Coleridge's representation of Nature.
The second section of the lesson explored ACT ONE of Othello. Specific focus was placed upon the representation of Desdemona and Othello and how this representation compares with the view of Oth/Des offered by Iago in Act One Scene One.
Homework: Read/Listen/Watch Act Two of Othello and continue to read TROTAM.

In 2001 an American film titled 'O' was released that follows the plot of Othello but locates the play in an American High School and represents 'O' as a talented basketball player! Josh Hartnett plays the Iago role and Mekhi Phifer Desdemona. It might be worth a 'skeg'..if only to raise a chuckle. Click on link below to access the trailer. This film is available to watch via YOU TUBE.
