AR Task: Connections

Good readers make personal connections to the texts they read. The three general types of connections are:
1) text-to-self: a personal connection that you make to the book or passage
Example: The main character has a little sister and you have a little sister too.

2) text-to-text: a connection with this reading selection to something else you've read
Example: Edmund and Lucy, two of the main characters in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, are also main characters in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

3) text-to-world: a connection you make that is neither personal nor to another text
Example: I read the book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and saw the movie with the same title.

This week, as you read your AR book, think about and respond to each of the three types of connections. Label your paper with each of the three types and then write your response. Be sure to include the page number that corresponds to your connections. Also, include your book title in your heading. This assignment is due no later than this Friday, 9/25.
