Learning Targets
• Identify the knowledge and skills needed to complete Embedded Assessment 2 successfully and reflect on prior learning that supports the knowledge and skills needed.
• Interpret quotations, make inferences, and generate research questions.
Making Connections
In the first part of this unit, you read the novel Tangerine and analyzed its characters, setting, and mood. You also learned to predict future actions based on the author’s use of foreshadowing. Describe one of the activities in the first half of the unit that helped prepare you to do well on Embedded Assessment 1. What did you do and learn in the activity, and how did it prepare you for success?
Developing Vocabulary
Look at your Reader/Writer Notebook and review the new vocabulary you learned as you studied the novel and its analysis. Which words do you know completely, and which do you need to learn more about?
Essential Questions
Now that you have read the novel Tangerine and analyzed the choices made by characters and the resulting consequences, how would you change your answer to the first Essential Question: “What is the relationship between choices and consequences?”
Unpacking Embedded Assessment 2
Read the assignment for Embedded Assessment 2: Creating a Biographical Presentation.
Your assignment is to work with a research group to create a biographical multimedia presentation of a great leader whose choices had positive consequences for society.
In your own words, summarize what you will need to know to complete this assessment successfully. With your class, create a graphic organizer to represent the skills and knowledge you will need to complete the tasks identified in the Embedded Assessment.

Read & Respond
For this half of the unit, find
an appropriate biography, autobiography, or work of historical fiction about a leader who has had a positive impact on society. Your teacher or librarian can help you. As you read, think like a writer by noticing the way writers use vivid details and specific words to describe real characters, settings, and events; rely on transitions to move the plot forward and indicate a change of time and place; and use dialogue to bring the story
to life. Use your Reader/ Writer Notebook to respond to any questions, comments, or reactions you might have to your reading. You teacher may ask questions about your text, and making notes in your Reader/Writer Notebook will help you answer them.
