  1. Othello for children 10th Grade Literature Mrs. Jennie Hutchins

  2. introduction • Instead of a test over William Shakespeare’s Othello, you will be creating a children’s story using lessons you learned. (Everyone, please cheer… This will be much more fun.) • You will need your anticipation and reaction guide before you get started, so please go ahead and pull those out now.

  3. Your task • You will complete the “after reading” section of your anticipation and reaction guide and decide which of the statements you wish to use as your focus for this project. You must have chosen “agree” as your response to the statement you choose. • You will break into groups according to the statement you choose (i.e., everyone who chose statement 1 will work together, 2 will work together, 3 will work together,etc.), and together you will create an online children’s text using your statement as the moral of the story. • After creating your children’s text, you will need to present it to a panel of teachers acting as a review board at an advertising company in order to promote your online text. You must convince this board to accept the text as it is without making any changes.

  4. process • Complete the “after reading” portion of your Othello anticipation and reaction guide. • Select one statement with which you agree as the focus of this project. • Divide into groups according to the statement you chose. • In your group, decide on the medium of your text. You will want to research prezis, wikispaces, blogs, podcasts, weebly.com, etc., to determine your format. • Assign roles to the members of your group (i.e., manager, recorder, image producer, etc.). • Collectively create your children’s text, focusing on your chosen statement as the moral of the story. Be sure your grammar, language, images, and other elements are all appropriate for your audience. • Collectively create and present (all members of the group must actively participate in the presentation) an argument for the promotion of your children’s text.
