1. Collaborative Discussion
Prepare for a collaborative discussion on
sportsmanship in Tangerine. With your class, identify the
expectations for each of the following roles:
Leader: Keeps track of time, group on task
Recorder: takes notes on key points made during discussion
Manager: Gets needed materials, keeps the noise within the group
Presenter: Presents key ideas from the discussion to the class
2. Sportsmanship
Write three questions about sportsmanship in Tangerine
to contribute to your group discussion.
Good discussion questions about literature are typically
at the interpretive level of questioning (see Activity 3.3
to review Levels of Questions) and involve elements
such as plot, setting, conflict, motifs, and characters.
4. Discussion
After your small group discussion, identify one
example, opinion, or insight about sportsmanship
for each of the categories in the graphic
organizer on page 196. As each group’s
presenter shares with the class, add to your
notes.
