Making Connection

We can make connections when we read: text to self, text to text, text to world.

A text to self connection is something about the book and something that is the same about the book and yourself. For example The duck tried to protect herself from the highway rat. My connection is I protect myself from my brother. My connection is protecting yourself.

A text to text connection is a book and another book that have similar ideas. For exmaple The duck told the highway rat I have a sister in a cave. My connection is Moana got tricked by Maui and he trapped her in the cave. My connection is tricking people to go into a cave.

A text to world is the book you read and something around the world. For exmaple the duck gave the food back to the villgers. My connection is the other people give the food to the homeless. My connection is giving food to others.

These 3 connections help people to understand what they are reading.
