June 3 & 5: Othello and Julius Caesar Test Corrections

June 3: Students read a prose version of Othello, answered comprehension questions, and identified character traits of characters. Students were given grade reports and instructions to turn in late work (by Friday), research paper corrections (by Monday).

June 5: Students watched a modern version of Othello. They are to fill out Venn diagrams for characters, identifying similarities and differences between characters in the prose version and movie.

Students were given the following instructions for test corrections and were offered an optional test to boost their test average next week:

OPTIONAL TEST

TEST ASSESSMENT/CORRECTIONS: due Tuesday, June 9
On a separate sheet of paper, answer the following questions (assuming you studied)
– 1) How did you study vocabulary?
– 2) How did you study quotes?
– 3) How did you study characters?
– 4) How did you study for questions 1-42 on the review sheet?

On the “Part 1” handout (you were given this on Monday, June 1 and probably already stapled your scantron to it), highlight the numbers you missed (they are marked on your scantron).
You will receive ¼ of a point per point missed on Part 1 when you complete the following (A, B, C)

(A) VOCABULARY (1-25)
• Re-define the vocabulary words. (Yes, that means to look them up again and write them again. You may do this on the “Part 1” handout.)
(B) QUOTES (26-39) Answer all questions about each quote you missed.
• Who is speaking these lines?
• What do they mean? What is the speaker talking about?
• Why was the speaker saying them? To whom was the speaker talking?
(C) CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS (40-49)
• For each character you missed, write
– his/her name
– 3 ways to describe him/her
• For example: CAESAR
1. killed by his friend
2. ambitious
3. deaf in one ear

Staple the following together, with the scantron on top:
1. scantron 2. separate sheet of paper with questions 1-4 answered 3. “Part 1” handout with test items
