You are a director for a local theater company, and have been contacted by the Board of Directors at the Globe Theater in London, England. The Globe Theater will be producing a new take on Shakespeare’s //Othello//, and their actors are in need of some new inspiration. The Globe Theater would like you to share you ideas to help them make an amazing production. How would you recreate this classic story of love, betrayal, and jealously? What would you change if you could? If your submission is chosen, you will be awarded tickets to the opening night’s production, and backstage passes to meet with the actors. Good luck!

=Task= //(Tell the story of the Role, Audience, Setting, and Presentation. Be a story teller. Save any classroom-specific information for the Process. Build the scenario and stay in character. You can reference the Introduction but try not to duplicate the information that's in the Introduction.)//

You are a local theatrical director for the Portland Players, and have been contacted by the Board of Directors at the Globe Theater in London, England. The Globe Theater will be producing a new take on Shakespeare’s //Othello//, and their actors are in need of some new inspiration. The Board of Directors and the actors are accepting Xtranormal video submissions that depict different ways of interpreting characters in //Othello//. Your task is to create an Xtranormal video that shows multiple ways of how a character can be interpreted through dialogue, costuming, set, time period, ect. If your submission is chosen, you will be awarded tickets to the opening night’s production, and backstage passes to meet with the actors. Good luck!

=Conclusion= //(Tie everything the participants have done back to the Goal. Why did they go through all of this? Tie the scenario to the real world. Remind them of the "Big Idea" that they were supposed to gain from this, just in case they didn't make the connection on their own. Don't get preachy. If you ask a question here, it has to be rhetorical. No work or assignments should be included. Short is good.)//

Congratulations! You have successfully submitted your entry to the Board of Directors at the Globe Theater. Now you understand the power of author choice and how the different elements of story can completely change its tone and characters. Thank you for your participation, and I hope you have enjoyed our study of //Othello.//
