Here it is. We’ve reached the end
of Othello.
I’ve kept it fairly simple today
as I know a few of you need to get caught up so that we’re ready for next week.
So, it’s just reading, three questions to get your reactions to the ending,
annotations and quick exit quiz. This should be do-able inside an hour.

See you next week!
Mr M
Last time, we paused at
the death of Emilia. Today, we’ll look at our penultimate chunk of the text,
leaving the final lines for Friday.
Here’s a breakdown of what our
work today involves:
1) Revision/memorisation of La
Belle Dame sans Merci (10 mins)
2) Watching the final 20 minutes
of the National Theatre Othello (if you haven’t already) (20 mins)
3) Annotating an extract (10
mins)
4) Reading and annotating (20
mins)
5) Writing an introductory
paragraph on the extract (10 minutes to prep, 10 minutes to write)
6) A second annotation video (20
minutes)
7) Exit quiz (5 mins)
This should all be achievable
within the two lessons.

Mr M
Last time, we reached the
dramatic death of Desdemona. Today, our attention turns to Emilia. The video is
a bit long today as I wanted us to crack through a lengthy section to put us in
position to focus solely on the tragic hero next week. So it’s just recap, reading
and annotations, exit quiz.

Any always, give me a shout if
you need any help.
Mr M
We’ve made it to the final, climactic scene of Othello!
We’ll probably get to the end of the play just in time for our return to school. At that point, we’ll do an essay or two and then get cracking on some more Keats. Despite everything, we're pretty much where I was with my Y12s last year before any time was lost to lockdowns. So we're doing well and haven't really lost any time.
You’ll find a full two hours of work on this powerpoint:
As always, let me know if you have any
problems or need any help.
Mr M
Well, we’re suddenly into the final
act and the penultimate scene! Today’s scene is all action, chaos and
confusion. We’ll see Iago scrambling to keep everything together.
The work should be do-able within
the two hours of lesson time today. Here’s a rough idea of what you have to do
to help you to divide the work into two hours. You might be able to plan your
paragraph at the end of the first lesson:
First lesson:
Keats recap (10-15 mins)
Watch the scene (5 mins)
Read the scene (15 mins)
Watch video/annotate the first
part of the scene (20 mins)
Second lesson:
Plan paragraph (5 mins)
Write paragraph (15 mins)
Watch video/annotate the rest of
the scene (30 mins)
Exit quiz (10 mins)

Let me know if you have any problems or need any help.
Mr M
We’re keeping it simple today. I want to buzz us to the end of Act 4 Scene 2. The rest of the scene is fairly straightforward and I want us to be ready to start the next scene (which is an important one) next week.
You’ll find all the work on the powerpoint below. Just three things to do today:
The video will give you some key facts for the exit quiz, so pay attention! And apologies for the dodgy edit and abrupt ending...
Let me know if you have any
problems or need any help.
Mr M
Hi folks,
I've changed my mind about the live debrief today. My video is too long and it'll be too rushed.
Instead, I'd like you to complete the work on the powerpoint below (download here). You may have done the first couple of
tasks already. We’ll do our live debrief at the start of next lesson before we
move on.
Let me know if you need any help,
Mr M
