The 10th grade English classes focus on tolerance and multicultural literature. Other books read during this grade level focus on the atrocities of the Holocaust, Japanese internment camps, and a host of short literature, memoirs, and poems from writers of every background directly related to multiculturalism. The goal is to learn more about others so that we all come to a place of understanding and tolerance. One of Shakespeare's greatest plays, arguably, was Othello, written about a non-white Moor who promotes another officer ahead of his white friend... and that's not to mention the Moor secretly taking a white wife, much to society's dismay. The play is renowned for its interplay of negative (and occasionally positive) race relations and racism that still affect us today. It is the goal of this project to show our students that 500-year-old literature--at least the story within--is still as prescient today as it was back then. Done right, and with the right materials, such as No Fear Shakespeare, this could serve to be a very important and formative unity in their 10th-grade learning.
