Making Connections while Reading

Today we talked about how we can make connections to books while reading, and how this will help us to better understand the story. (There are 3 different types of connections we can make. ) The first type of connection we talked about was a "text to self" connection. A text to self connection is when you connect the story to your own life. Before writer's workshop today we read Plaidypus Lost. After reading, we sequenced the story, and made text to self connections about a time we had lost something.

Below are a sample of some connections we made...

(losing a pencil/losing their purple folder)

(losing a necklace/losing a shirt)
