Making Connections

Making Connections is building a better understanding by linking ideas.There are 3 different typed of connection we make in reading.

Text to text, text to self, text to world are the 3 connection which will build better understandings.

Text to self is getting a part from a book and connecting it with something that you did. For example The duck gave water to the horse opinion The duck could see that the horse was tired. I gave water and food to my cat because I saw it was thirsty. These connect because they both were thirsty for water.

Text to Text is getting information from a book and getting information from a another book and seeing  what is the same about the two books. For example The duck wanted to save herself from the rat so the duck tricked the rat into thinking that the duck has a sister with lots of treats. Opinion The duck tried to defend herself from the highway. My Connection is when little red riding hood thought her grandma was trying to eat her and the little red riding hood try to defend herself from the wolf 

Text to world is connecting with a book to someting happening around the world. For example The duck returned the food to the villagers. Opinion The duck did the right thing cause it was the villages food. People giving people food so they can survive without starving. These connect because they both have no food.

Making connections can help understand people about another book or about ourselves or the world
