Making connections

Connections allow people to conect with themselves, other text, and the world. There are 3 differents kinds of connections and they are: text to self, text to text, and text to world.

Text to self is comparing something in the text to yourself. To make a text to self connection the reading needs to get an idea from the text and compare it to themself. Example: Mouse lied to the other animals. I have lied.

Text to text is comparing something in the text to another text. To make a text to text connection the reading needs to get an idea from the text and compare it to another text. Example: The mouse tricked the gruffalo. The Twits tricked each other.

Text to world is connecting the text to the world. To make a text to world connection the reader needs get an idea from the text and then compare it to the world. Example: The mouse had no house. Some people around the world are homless.

Making connections can help the reader understand a text by linking ideas to another idea.
