• Deep Dive Shakespeare

  A Close Reading of Othello with Dr. Dan Davis
  
  

  Reading one of Shakespeare’s plays is rewarding but can be a challenge. Reading it together in a group and sharing the experience makes the task easier and yields deeper insight.
  
  Join Dr. Dan Davis in a close reading of a single play, Othello, over five consecutive weekly meetings. Each week, we will gather to discuss the act we have just read and preview the one ahead. Bring your ideas and questions to share with fellow readers, and experience firsthand the close-reading approach Brookfield Academy students use to master Shakespeare.
