Othello - Act 1.2

This fully scaffolded lesson encourages learners to analyse how Shakespeare creates initial impressions of the characters in Act 1 Scene 2, discusses Shakespeare’s use of setting and context and culminates in learners crafting a paragraph which considers our initial impressions of Brabantio and conducting peer-asessment.

Extension and stretch and challenge activities are embedded throughout; the lesson has an overarching question which encourages the development of higher order thinking. Opportunities for paragraph writing and peer assessment are also utilised.
