Soliloquy Formative

On Friday, you will present at least 15 lines of material from Shakespeare's Othello to the class.  The monologue you deliver should contain the following elements:
- A POETIC speech from one character that is (more or less) memorized
- Significant action
- Prop and/or costume
- Clear emotion
- A brief written explanation of the choices you made in your scene (3 or so sentences are fine)

There are many famous soliloquies and long speeches to choose from...
- Iago (1.3.426, 2.1.308, 2.3.49, 2.3.356, 3.3.367)
- Othello (1.3.149, 3.3.299)
- Desdemona (4.2.175)
- Emilia (4.3.95)
...And you may choose from any of these or try something else entirely.  You may edit the speech as you see fit or patch together similar speeches as long as the end result makes sense and satisfies the above requirements.

TIPS:
- Do not just memorize this in your head.  Saying your speech out loud many times is the only way to truly practice.
- Gesturing with your arms absentmindedly is not considered significant action or emotion.
- A fast speech delivered in one breath is not necessarily a good speech.  Pause, collect your thoughts, let the audience hang.... on... your... eve... ry... word.  (This will also make acting easier.)
- Figure out the correct pronunciations of words you do not know.
- Read punctuation mark to punctuation mark, not line to line.
- Get help from your fellow students.
