Science Leadership Academy

Currently we have begun the 4^th quarter and have begun to read the play Othello. Of course in your typical English class consists of reading, writing and understanding the differences between our languages compared Shakespeare’s writing. This class has all of the requirements for English, but we have been provided with something extra. The little spice in your food, or should I say, the little POP in your Pop rocks. The extra ingredient brewing in this stew of students and learning is Mr. Chase.

            Mr. Chase is an energetic teacher that takes the aspects and view of our modern eye. (Though he isn’t that old anyway) We are now reading the play Othello as stated before. Within the book we received there is a modern interpretations and definitions of the words within it. I have not found a problem with any of the reading; actually I rarely use the modern definitions. Continuing on point, Mr. Chase is able to break this down. We have class activities that require group work and different interpretations and perspectives of your teammates to draw conclusions of the text, the characters tone of voice with in the text, and the character’s personalities.
