Fourth Assignment

Post a picture and name of an actress and actor who you think would be perfect to play the parts of Othello and Desdemona. Also, give a reason why you picked them.

To post a picture, first go to google images and save the ones you get of your actress and actor to My Pictures.

Then go to your blog and click the little sky and mountain icon. It's the third from the right. Click "Browse" and go to My Pictures to find the images you saved.

IMPORTANT! I'll be checking your blogs Sunday night Sept. 13th around 8 pm and you should have 4 posts. This will count as an essay grade so it's important that you have them completed by then. No second chances!

Remember, a simile is a comparison of two unlike things that somehow makes sense.

Simile: Love is like a bubble bursting in your chest.
Not a simile: Love is like caring for your dog.
