Today, Bella completed one exercise from Warm-Up #5 in "Calisthenics for the Brain." I introduced the difference between phrases and clauses. She completed an IXL grammar exercise called, "Is it a phrase or a clause?" We discussed the plot events of Scene 3 of Othello. Bella began the following assignment: Read up to line 49. The Duke and Senators conclude that the Turkish fleet is heading for Cyprus and give orders for Othello to lead the Venetian counter-attack.. Write the formal statement published by the Duke's press office. Briefly explain the case for war against the Turks, and outline the strategic decisions made by the Senate.
