8. Tangerine is all told in first-person point of view, while most news articles are
written from the perspective of third-person point of view. Using the graphic Grammar USaGe organizer below, record the benefits and limits of each. Conjunctions
Conjunctions join words or groups of words that perform the same function in a sentence. When you join two sentences with a coordinating conjunction, use a comma before the coordinating conjunction. To achieve a formal style, as in academic writing, avoid beginning sentences with coordinating conjunctions.

9. Collaborative Discussion
Consider the following focus question for the discussion:
How did the central character have an effect on the events described?
Write Level 2 (interpretive) questions based on the events of 9/11 as presented in the texts: the sinkhole disaster in Tangerine and “A Stunning Tale of Escape Traps Its Hero in Replay.” Be prepared to ask and respond to questions with your peers about these texts. Be sure that all of your questions are based on the texts and can be answered with evidence from the texts. See Activity 3.3 for a review of questioning the text.
