PLan
Materials: Tangerine, by Edward Bloor Suggested pacing: 1.5 50-minute class periods
1 Review the learning targets with students. Ask students to share what they know about motif.
2 Have students get out the double-entry journals they worked on during Part 3 of Tangerine.
Have them choose one entry to share. Then either put them in groups or allow them to circulate
to find partners who have different examples to share. Share examples as a whole class as well.
Textual Evidence of a Choice Made by a Character

Commentary on the Consequences of That Choice and the Possible Impact on Paul
“Erik lashed out, smashing the back of his hand across Tino’s face, smashing him so hard that Tino spun halfway around in the air and landed on the grass.”
205
By hitting Tino so hard, Erik injured not only Tino’s face but also his ego. This will cause retaliation on Tino’s part. (Immediate) Erik will have to face retaliation from Tino’s family. Maybe this incident will finally cause Paul to stand up to his brother. (Long-term) Paul again witnesses the dark side of his brother. This time may be different, however, because it is someone else that Erik injured.
Paul: “I landed hard on Coach Warner’s back and held on tight, riding his neck and shoulders.”
259
Paul will get into trouble for assaulting a teacher. But Tino and Victor will be able to get away. (Immediate) Paul will have to pay the consequences — especially with his brother — but he has now finally solidified whose side he is on, that of Tino and Victor. (Long-term) Paul is standing up for himself and for what he believes in, unafraid of the consequences, for the first time in the novel. Now he will probably do it more before the end of the novel.
