Connections are similiar ideas compared between the readers experiences or knowledge and the text being read. There are three differnent 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 shared food with my cousins because they were hungry. It connects because they both use empathy. Empathy means sharing feelings with another person.
Text to text is talking about something that links to another text in a book. For example: The duck told the highway rat to thinking there was food at the top of a echoey cave. The duck was trying to not get eaten by the rat. My connection is: In the story the Gruffalo, the mouse tricks the owl, fox, and the snake into thinking there was a beast named the Gruffalo. It connects because they both use deception. Deception means tricking someone into thinking you're telling something true.
Text to world is talking about something that links to the world. For example: The duck tried to defend herself from the highway rat. The duck tried to take back her cupcake from the highway rat. My connection is: In the world people defend themselves from thieves that try to steal their food. It connects because they both use fearlessness. Fearless means your not scared of anyone or anything.
Making connections can help understand about another text, about ourselves, and about the world.
