Othello Log Entries 1-6

Log 1:1) Why do Iago, Roderigo, and Brabantio hate the man they are discussing?
2. What reasons does Iago give for continuing to follow his master?
3. What kind of person do you except the man they discuss to be? How do you imagine him? Count the number of times the word “Moor” is used in 1.1. Can you draw any conclusions?

Log 2:In addition to your log entry, do this free-writing exercise. Write about a time when you resented someone who received an honor you were hoping to get. How did you feel about the person who received it, and how did you feel about the one who chose the other person instead of you?

Log 3:Describe Othello as you see him in your imagination. Say which actor, or type of actor, you would choose to play the role. Find a picture on-line or in a magazine that resembles your idea of Othello, or draw your own.
Iago swears in line 38 “By Janus.” Janus is a Roman two-faced god. Give examples of Iago’s two-faced behavior. How might an actor convey this?

Log 4: Othello word search

Log 5:Write in your log….your choice. Use the opposite pages with activities for some guidance. Any of these activities will work!!
