Thematic Development

As we continue reading the play, it is important to discover and analyze themes that appear throughout. Use this blog to explore a theme you have discovered so far.

Punctuation

As we discussed in class, punctuation is not simply a set of rules without purpose --- and its purposes go beyond annoying us. Good use of punctuation makes you a stronger writer, since you can express yourself with clarity, power, and creativity.

Give an example or two of how punctuation can change a sentence: a made-up one, a text message, or one you find. [Here’s another example: “Let’s eat, Grandpa!” or “Let’s eat Grandpa!”]

Shakespeare

Use this post to share a line or two from Othello that you find particularly profound, cool, funny, or interesting. Explain.
