Mapping Othello.

So for classwork, in English, we have to team up with the person at out shoulder that's sitting at our table. No one was sitting next to me yesterday when it started so I was assigned a person who also didn't have a partner. We could start the mapping for Othello. 

For the assignment, we have to Map Othello. What does that mean? We have to list all of the main characters--Othello, Desdemona, Iago, Brabantio, Emilia, Cassio, and Roderigo. Then, we have to connect each of the characters in some way. For example, two bubbles (we're using Inspiration) with maybe Othello in one and Desdemona in another. Obviously they have a connection, they're married. So, we link those bubbles and write in that they're "Happily Married." So we do that with everyone of the characters. Sounds great. 

Not only do we have to do that, but we then have to pick a different color for the bubble the character is in. If Iago's bubble's color is red, we have to explain why we chose his color to be red. We aren't finished yet.

After choosing colors from the color wheel and explaining why we think that color is suitable for that character, the entire tragedy of Othello needs to be mapped. Well, the important events from Act 1 to Act 3 scene 3. So not the entire play. Oh, I almost forgot, when the important events are mapped, you have to list the act, scene, and lines that the important event takes place. Not only that, but you also have to fill in the bubble with the color of the character that was the largest part of the event. So if an important event comes up, and Iago is the important character in it, and Iago's character bubble is red, then the important event's bubble's color is red. 

Sounds easy, right?
