making connections

This resource focuses on helping students make meaningful connections between texts and their personal experiences, other texts, and societal contexts. The learning objective emphasizes the importance of identifying three types of connections: Text-to-Self, Text-to-Text, and Text-to-Society. By utilizing short stories such as 'Leo's Big Challenge,' students are guided through personal reflections and peer discussions, enabling them to relate their own experiences to literary content. The resource includes structured prompts, examples, and activities for guided practice, such as community connections and collaborative discussions about various stories, fostering a deeper understanding of themes and character emotions in literature.
