Making Connections

Making connections are the links that you make between books, the world and themselves. There are three connections they are text to text, text to self and text to world.

Text to text, means to make another connection with other books. To make a text connection, the reader gets a idea from another book and compare that idea to the current book. An example: The owl invite the mouse to his tea party my connection was that the army invite Mulan's dad to fight.

Text to self, means to make a connection to yourself. To make a text to self connection, the reader gets a idea from the current book and make a connection that you experienced before. An example: The snake was impatient while the mouse was talking, my connection was my sister is impatient while I am talking. 

Text to world, means to make a connections with the world. To make a text to world connection, the reader gets ideas and compare the ideas with the world. An example: The mouse was brave enough to go to the owls invite, people are brave enough to go through a situation that has hard obstacles to overcome.

Making connections can help people link ideas to other ideas and lets people build their understanding about a text.
