June 4: Othello, Grade Reports, Test Corrections, etc.

Today, students watched a modern version of Othello. They are to create Venn diagrams for Othello, Desdemona, Iago, and Michael Cassio - comparing/contrasting the version we read with the movie version.

After the movie, students were given grade reports, Julius Caesar test scantron with assessment sheet and instructions for corrections and additional information. These instructions are below.
