Creating Character in Othello

Write an analytical paragraph in which you explore how Shakespeare uses figurative language to establish the character of one of two minor characters: Brabantio or the Duke. Practice organizing your paragraph around the five features of analytical paragraphs that we discussed in class: a topic sentence, quote contextualization, direct quotation, ideas/claims, and an explanation that links the ideas to the specific details of the text.

Visual Reflections

What surprised you as you worked to translate the vision of your graphic novel onto paper? What challenged you? If you had an opportunity to revise, what would you change?

Reflect on the above questions and then spend 30 minutes writing a one or two paragraphs that represent what you learn. Practice structuring your paragraph around the features of analysis that you demonstrated in your VoiceThread analysis (point to specific details, offer ideas not observations, provide an explanation that links your ideas to your details).
