ENG3U Unit 3: Othello

A manipulation tracker, an Act 3 social media feed, a structured academic controversy on race, a Venetian inquiry into who is to blame and a film pitch. Sensitive content is handled with care: discussion norms, summaries instead of staging violence, and support resources in the teacher notes.

Assessment of learning: a scene performance with a director's rationale and a timed literary essay, with rubrics.
