She teaches both general track and honors English classes. She has participated in a summer grant program at The Thoreau Institute in Lincoln, Massachusetts. Plays/Scenes CoveredOthello What's On for Today and Why Today students will look at The History and Description of Africa by Leo Africanus, a primary source that existed at the time Shakespeare wrote Othello.

This text, which includes a description of African people, was translated into English in 1600 and was widely circulated. This exercise will expose students to the ideas and principles regarding Africans that existed during Shakespeare's time, providing a cultural context in which they can analyze Othello's feelings about himself as an individual.

Www.folger.edu/documents/Africanus1.pdf. Othello on Cambio. Othello opens in the stately city of Venice, a worldwide hub for trade and commerce. The first characters introduced are Iago, an ensign denied promotion by Othello, and Roderigo, a jealous ex-suitor of Desdemona.

The two are in route to describing to Senator Brabantio the elopement of Othello and Desdemona, Brabantio's daughter. Quickly revealing Iago's deceitful nature, the matter is breached to Brabantio and soon afterward brought before the Duke of Venice to be discussed. Othello and Desdemona plead their love to the Duke, refuting the Senator's claims that Othello bewitched his daughter, and that their marriage was true. After Othello claims that he wooed her with his adventurous stories, Desdemona herself testifies that she fell honestly in love with the Moor and freely married him.

Following their clearance of wrongdoing, Othello is immediately sent to defend against the Turks in Cyrpus. Iago utilizes Roderigo one last time to help him in the murder of Cassio. Writing a Literary Analysis Presentation. Why Debate « Boston Debate League. Urban youth with great talent, creativity, and potential often go unchallenged and unrecognized in Boston’s public schools. When the classroom doesn’t engage them, students respond by dropping out, behaving disruptively, or giving up on themselves. Consequently, too many grow up without the skills they need to succeed in college and compete in today’s economy.

Competitive academic debate offers a powerful means of engaging students in their own education and reversing these negative trends. Debaters come from across the academic spectrum, including those who do not attend school regularly or are not thriving in the traditional classroom. Debate appeals to these students as a fun, competitive, and student-centered way to encounter academic subjects. Benefits of Urban Debate Improving Academic Performance. Building a Bridge to College.

Mood and Tone. How to Punctuate Dialogue. Punctuating Dialogue Quotation marks began in ancient Greek texts as two curved lines that represented the lips of a person speaking.

One curved line was placed at the beginning, as if the writer were saying, “I’m telling you something someone else said.” The other curved line came at the end, to say, “I’ve finished writing the words that came out of the other person’s mouth.” Quotation marks are placed before the first word of a quote and after the punctuation that follows the last word. EX: The teacher said, “In this class there will be no talking, chewing, breathing, unnecessary eye movements, or tap dancing.”A quoted remark begins with a capital letter: it’s the speaker’s first word. EX: I questioned, “Are you up on the furniture again, you bad dog?” She was driving me crazy.

Importance of College Education. During their high school career, students may begin to question the importance of a college education. They might find themselves asking, “Why is it important to go to college?”

The answer is that, more than ever, attending college provides opportunities for graduates which are not as widespread to those who have not received a higher education. For many high school students, being able to immediately generate an income after graduation is an appealing thought. They may also be repelled by the rising cost of tuition, and while it is true that a higher education may be one of the largest expenses you will ever face, the importance of a college education has become quite evident in terms of earning potential within today’s economy.

Why Should You go to College? One important answer to this question is more opportunity. There are additional reasons as to why it is important to go to college. So, why should you go to college?
