4. Who Sees? Who Doesn’t See?
After reviewing your double-entry journal entries for Part 2, think about the word see and its meanings, both literal and figurative, and how it is used as a motif in the novel. Your teacher will either assign a character from the novel Tangerine or ask you to choose one. In one lens of the glasses, list or draw the things the character sees or understands; in the other lens, list or draw the things the character does not see or understand (or refuses to see).

5. After you have worked on the graphic organizer, meet with others who chose the same character. Compare and discuss what your character sees and doesn’t see, and add details or images to your graphic organizer.
6. Next, meet in a group of three or four others, each of whom chose a different character, and compare notes and interpretations about characters with contrasting points of view about the events of the novel. Take notes on one other character besides the one upon which you have focused.

Read & Discuss
Meet with a small group
of peers to talk about the themes and motifs you
have encountered in your independent reading. Use what you have learned about identifying and analyzing
the meanings of motifs. Use the notes you have taken in your Independent Reading Log and your Reader/Writer Notebook to help support your ideas during discussion. End the discussion by making a generalization about the motifs you have discussed. For example, can you make any connections or identify any universal meanings in the motifs you discussed?
