Planning FOA
This is the definitive schedule for the FOAs for my class:
Groups:
Note that should something prevent you from doing your FOA on the scheduled date, once this schedule has been completed, there is probably no way you can fit it into another lesson, unless you have arranged in advance to swap with a group whose FOA is the same length as yours. Failure to do a second FOA will mean that no mark can be given to the IB for Internal Assessment, which is worth 30% of your entire IB mark. To avoid this, if the FOA is largely video in which members participate, it may be possible to still give you a grade without you being present. If not, the group must decide what is preferable: the whole group must perform the FOA before an audience that they provide at some time outside of class when I and all members can be present and a room is available, or the group does the FOA without the missing member, and the member must arrange his own FOA with an audience at a time when I can be present and a room is available.
If your previous FOA was a PowerPoint/Prezi, you may not do so for this one.
Guidelines:
Groups:
- Group 1: Lana, Sophie, Pim, Dominic 40 minutes Tuesday, March 8th
- Group 2: Famke, Daphne 20 minutes Monday, March 7th
- Group 3: Jaap, Gavin (SDR), Fleur L (SDR) 25 minutes Wednesday February 10th
- Group 4: Isabelle, Chahrazad 20 minutes Wednesday February 24th
- Group 5: Pien, Fay 20 minutes Monday February 22nd
- Group 6: Daniela, Arjen (SDR) 20 minutes Monday February 15th
- Group 7: Giuseppe, Joram, Florens, 25 minutes Monday, March 7th
- Group 8: Sebastiaan, Shifra (SDR) 20 minutes Monday February 15th
- Group 9: Floris, Twan (SDR), Tim (SDR) 25 minutes Wednesday February 10th
- Vincent 10 minutes Monday February 22nd
- Titia 10 minutes Monday February 22nd

Guidelines:
Non-interactive (e.g., PowerPoint, Prezi types of FOA)
•1 person = 10 minutes plus a maximum of 5 minutes of video that you are not in
•2 people = 20 minutes plus a maximum of 5 minutes of video that you are not in
•3 people = 25 minutes plus a maximum of 5 minutes of video that you are not in
Interactive (e.g., Roleplays, videos of interviews, mini-docs) – Time including video and live part*
*if video is fully scripted, must leave time for interactive class discussion
*if video is fully scripted, must leave time for interactive class discussion
•2 people = 20 minutes, no more than 5 minutes of video that you are not in
•3 people = 30 minutes, no more than 5 minutes of video that you are not in
•4 people = 40 minutes, no more than 10 minutes of video that you are not in

The Things They Carried
For Part 3, we will be reading Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried, which is a composite novel or a short story cycle based on the author's own experiences during the Vietnam War in the 1960s. Although the book itself was written in the 1980s, the context of the work is the 1960s, as it was the events of that time that clearly shaped the author's sensibilities and are reflected on in the novel.

Othello Review
Act III:
Act V Scene 2:
Act III Scene 2 IOC (75 lines)
Act III Scene 2 IOC (75 lines)
IAGO: What, are you hurt, lieutenant?
CASSIO: Ay, past all surgery.
CASSIO: Ay, past all surgery.
IAGO: Marry, heaven forbid!
CASSIO: Reputation, reputation, reputation! O, I have lost
my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of
myself, and what remains is bestial. My reputation,
Iago, my reputation!
my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of
myself, and what remains is bestial. My reputation,
Iago, my reputation!
IAGO: As I am an honest man, I thought you had received
some bodily wound; there is more sense in that than
in reputation. Reputation is an idle and most false
imposition: oft got without merit, and lost without
deserving: you have lost no reputation at all,
unless you repute yourself such a loser. What, man!
there are ways to recover the general again: you
are but now cast in his mood, a punishment more in
policy than in malice, even so as one would beat his
offenceless dog to affright an imperious lion: sue
to him again, and he's yours.

CASSIO: I will rather sue to be despised than to deceive so
good a commander with so slight, so drunken, and so
indiscreet an officer. Drunk? and speak parrot?
and squabble? swagger? swear? and discourse
fustian with one's own shadow? O thou invisible
spirit of wine, if thou hast no name to be known by,
let us call thee devil!

had he done to you?

CASSIO: I know not.
IAGO: Is't possible?
CASSIO: I remember a mass of things, but nothing distinctly;
a quarrel, but nothing wherefore. O God, that men
should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away
their brains! that we should, with joy, pleasance
revel and applause, transform ourselves into beasts!

CASSIO: It hath pleased the devil drunkenness to give place
to the devil wrath; one unperfectness shows me
another, to make me frankly despise myself.

IAGO: Come, you are too severe a moraler: as the time,
the place, and the condition of this country
stands, I could heartily wish this had not befallen;
but, since it is as it is, mend it for your own good.

CASSIO: I will ask him for my place again; he shall tell me
I am a drunkard! Had I as many mouths as Hydra,
such an answer would stop them all. To be now a
sensible man, by and by a fool, and presently a
beast! O strange! Every inordinate cup is
unblessed and the ingredient is a devil.

if it be well used: exclaim no more against it.
And, good lieutenant, I think you think I love you.

And, good lieutenant, I think you think I love you.
CASSIO: I have well approved it, sir. I drunk!
IAGO: You or any man living may be drunk! at a time, man.
I'll tell you what you shall do. Our general's wife
is now the general: may say so in this respect, for
that he hath devoted and given up himself to the
contemplation, mark, and denotement of her parts and
graces: confess yourself freely to her; importune
her help to put you in your place again: she is of
so free, so kind, so apt, so blessed a disposition,
she holds it a vice in her goodness not to do more
than she is requested: this broken joint between
you and her husband entreat her to splinter; and, my
fortunes against any lay worth naming, this
crack of your love shall grow stronger than it was before.

CASSIO: You advise me well.
IAGO: I protest, in the sincerity of love and honest kindness.
CASSIO: I think it freely; and betimes in the morning I will
beseech the virtuous Desdemona to undertake for me:
I am desperate of my fortunes if they cheque me here.
