Making Connections

Making Connections is connecting things that have similarities. There are three differnent types of connections when reading. They're text to self, text to text, and text to world. 

The text to self is connecting the text to your self like the duck tells the rat that she has a sister so she can save herself and I told my mum that I am allergic to carrots so I didn’t get to eat carrots. These connect because the duck tells that she has a sister so she can save her self and I told my mum I am allergic to carrots so I didn’t get to eat them.

The text to text is connecting one text with a different text from a different book the duck tried to defend herself from the highway rat and the mouse from the Gruffalo tricked the animals so he wouldn’t be eaten. This connection is the mouse and the duck both tricked the animal that tried to eat them because they wanted to save their lives.

The text to world is connecting the text to the world like when the duck did the right thing by taking back the village's food and people today give food to the the homeless. These connect because both are being considerate of other people.

Using text to self, text to text, and text to world is easy to use because it explains more about the text.
