Making connections

Making connection is conection to yourself, to the world and text to text.

Text to self is when you do something the same as in the story. For a exampe: The duck stole the highway rats food when the highway rat went into the cave. The duck was riding the horse down the mountain. The duck took the food because it was the villagers and because it was a good thing to do. My connection: I stole my brothers food because my little sister was to scared to go and ask. These connect because both characters have somthing to a scared group od people.

Text to Text is when you compare the simularities to another story. 
Example: The duck stopped to the highway rat and the highway rat said "I see you have no food then I gues I will have to eat you" The duck needed to think about the threat the highway rat gave her. My connection: In little red riding hood the wolf dresses up as the grandma to trick little red riding hood  so the wolf can eat her.These connect because they both have been tricked.

Text to world is when you tell when you see someone do something nice to the world or somene. 
Example: When the duck and the highway rat was going up to the cave the horse was tired so the duck gave the horse some water. The duck took the horse becaus eshe can see that the highway rat was not treating the horse right.

My connection: When there was a poor manin the streets when I swas walking there was a woman who gave the homeless man some money because someone maybe kicked him out of a house or something.
These connect because the woman was taking care of the man like the duck did to the horse.

Making connections are an important way to understand the meaning or a similarity. Connecting texts to other stuff or people can help you understand similairities and meanings.
