Activity idea: Students write a news article about event in Othello

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe somewhat similar to working with current events, but have students report on an event in the play (ex. the death of Desdemona and Othello) and interview multiple characters to get their interpretation of the events (ex. Cassio, Iago, Rodrigo (did he die? maybe not Rodrigo)).

Students would have to put themselves in the shoes of the characters they use to write from their perspectives and perhaps consider which characters are persuasive/manipulative (Iago) and which are unsure/easily convinced of events (Othello, Rodrigo, etc)

just spitballing here

Activity idea: Looking at multiple perspectives in Othello and in real life

# data[].attributes.body
In Othello we see characters interpreting the similar events in different ways (ex when the Turkish fleet is fleeing to Rhodes and the Venetian generals consider the reasons why)

We could have students look at why one character believes one thing and another character believes another thing and how their individual perspectives inform their mindset (or something). Could be a creative writing component (if there isn't enough information about a character) or maybe they could make inferences from the text

THEN

they could take these skills and apply them to a current event (or something) by looking at perspectives of real life people and considering why they might inform their positions on an issue

or MAYBE

they can find an article they find persuasive and consider what it is that makes it persuasive (rhetorical devices etc)

or MAYBE

both??? in one activity or two (or maybe one actvity over two days idk)

Quote in Context

And what's he, then, that says I play the villain?
When this advice is free I give and honest,
Probal to thinking, and, indeed, the course
To win the Moor again
Othello (2.3), Iago

"Iago is the perfect villain. He neither respects moral beauty as seen in Desdemona, nor the grand nobleness of the mighty-souled Othello. All things pure and noble in their nature are looked upon as far beneath his "learned spirit." As Mr. Hudson says, Iago is "severely introversive," and is only satisfied by dipping what is good into his own vileness and bringing it forth reeking in the filth of his own evil nature. The purest of all sentiments is, in his mind, a mere "lust of the blood and a permission of the will." It is utterly foreign to his nature; indeed, we cannot even conceive of lago's loving anything." [Fanny Ragland] Read on...

Othello Stage History

Come on, come on; you are pictures out of doors,
Bells in your parlors, wild-cats in your kitchens,
Saints m your injuries, devils being offended,
Players in your housewifery, and housewives' in your beds.
Othello (2.1), Iago, on women

One performance of Othello, produced in 1660, starred an actress by the name of Margaret Hughes in the role of Desdemona. This production is of particular importance because it marked the first time a woman was accepted on the English stage. Before this, all the characters, whether male or female, were played exclusively by men. Read on...
