Through out the process of working together with my team we have agreed much so far. So far we have read our parts of the book and reviewed it. We wanted to review or pages to find out which lines will have our theme in them. Over the course of one class we all agreed on how we would do our presentation and what characters we would be. We decided on which characters we would be pending on our personality. We also decided how the team managers are and what each person is responsible for. Each person in our team would be responsible for each part of the project so this way the pressure or stress of the project would be divided evenly.

Though it was not easy deciding on all of this we all had different opinions and wanted to be in charge of different things. And some of us didn't even want the responsibility of certain things. In the beginning we had trouble getting started and some of us didn’t want to read our parts so we had to set some ground rules. The rules were if you didn’t do your work one night then the next night you would have to do the recent work and extra work. This motivated us because none wanted to do extra work.

In the Othello text we grabbed scenes and lines from the book that related to our topic, which was manipulation and added them into our google doc. After we inserted the manipulation themes into the google doc we remembered that the whole presentation had to be no more then ten minutes long. So when we were editing we kept only the important parts that would get the point across into our script. We took out unnecessary lines that wouldn’t throw you off if you didn’t hear them. We knew which ones to take out because we read the script over after we took certain lines out to see if the script would still make sense.

When I first got the book I really didn’t like Shakespeare but when I started reading I began to understand what point he was trying to get across. I have never read a play by Shakespeare before but it seems like he was talented and he knew what he was doing. I slowly began to understand why certain things happened in the play and why certain themes took place throughout the play. I also began to understand what was called comic relief by my whole team understanding Shakespeare’s work we had no trouble translating his words and writing our final script.
