Avoid using second person (at all times).

INSTRUCTIONS: Cut/paste the following instructions and respond below each respective section.

I. In one paragraph, summarize ACT III Scene III in your own words, no quotations or personal opinions in this section. Please reread Module on plagiarism. (10 points)

II. Using various metacommentary templates, integrate at least 4 quotes, one from Scene 1, Scene II, Scene III, and Scene IV that show how Othello is being manipulated. *This requires critical thinking, so be sure to use metacommentary to make connections to each claim. You should end up with 4 separate mini paragraphs (2-4 sentences). Reread “The Art of Metacommentary” and integrate all quotes. Stand alone quotes will be discounted. Study Module: How to cite (Shakespeare) plays (20 points)

III. Select ONE of your integrated quotes and discuss it in your response section. Be sure to connect with the quote. For example, you can share an experience you or a friend has had with a jealous, or manipulative, or deceitful, or… partner. Talk about it. Are you (or a friend) an Othello? A Iago? or a Desdemona? (10 points)

IV. Pose your critical question(s). The question must be critical, dig deep here. (10 points)
