Week 14
Othello
Our goal this week is to put closure to perhaps the most moving of Shakespeare's tragedies, Othello. We encountered one of his vilest villans, one of his purest heroines, and of course, one of his most tragic protagonists. The beauty of reading Shakespeare is that the works crystallize for us the problems of love and death, passion and betrayal, jealousy and nostalgia, power and temporality, memory and imagination...what is our alternative? If we do not read Shakespeare, how will we come to know what we already understand?
Here are your assignments/Agenda for Week 14:
If you have questions about these assignments, please leave a comment or email me directly. Remember, I will check the blog until 9:59 pm. You know I need my Seinfeld fix.

hey mr dileo, my dad just bought a new printer and hes in the proccess of setting it up, so i might not be able to print my Awakening paper out. Also my mom wasnt reading Into the Wild, so i was wondering if i could change my independent reading to City of Light.
No problem Clark, read City of Light. It is a good read. Also, can you send me your paper as an attachment to fdileo@buffaloschools.org? I could print it out at school.
See you tomorrow.
hey Sleepy D!
I never got my essay peer reviewed so is it OK if I hand it in a day late?
My fault for not getting that done.
Hey Mr. DiLeo,
Thanks for the updates. I am looking forward to tomorrow =)

hey Mr. Dileo I've been reading over my lines for tomorrow for the past 2 hours. It's tough. i can't speak shakespeare but I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. i was wondering if maybe i could drop by your room before 1st period and listen to the recording so i could get a better feel of it. It would help a lot and I'd really appreciate it.
