c. Propel conversations by posing and responding to questions that relate the current discussion to broader themes or larger ideas; actively incorporate others into the discussion; and clarify, verify, or challenge ideas and conclusions.

LAFS.910.L.3.4
Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases based on grades 9–10 reading and content, choosing flexibly from a range of strategies.

Also, it's important to perceive what is going on in Shakespeare, even if you don't understand every single word.

On the left, circle words we no longer use. On the right, rewrite the following in your own words:

Enter CASSIO, and certain Officers with torches

OTHELLO

The servants of the duke, and my lieutenant.

The goodness of the night upon you, friends!

What is the news?


CASSIO

The duke does greet you, general,

And he requires your haste-post-haste appearance,

Even on the instant.


OTHELLO

What is the matter, think you?


CASSIO

Something from Cyprus as I may divine:

It is a business of some heat: the galleys

Have sent a dozen sequent messengers

This very night at one another's heels,

And many of the consuls, raised and met,

Are at the duke's already: you have been

hotly call'd for;

When, being not at your lodging to be found,

The senate hath sent about three several guests

To search you out.

OTHELLO

'Tis well I am found by you.

I will but spend a word here in the house,

And go with you.

Exit
