Making Connection

Making connections when a reading helps us understand what we are reading. There are three different types of connections. They are text to self, text to text, and text to world.

Text to text is talking about something that links to yourself. For example, The duck shared food with the villagers. The duck did the right thing as it was the villagers’ food. My connection is: I have food that I share with my neighbour's It connects because they both use food and interesting characters that use items.

Text to text is talking about something that links to another text in a book. For example, The duck told the highway rat to think there was food at the top of an echoey cave. The duck was trying to not get eaten by the rat. My connection is that the rat wants all the treats from the duck's sister. It connects because they both use deception.

Text to the world is talking about something that connects to the real world. For example, The duck tried to defend herself from the rat. The duck tried to take her cupcake back from the rat. My connection is sometimes I cry cause I never see my treats again but sometimes I'm just too smart and clever to unsmart them into getting my treats back. It connects because they both use fearlessness. Fearless means you not scared of anyone or anything.
