Connection Quest is an engaging, game-based activity designed for students to make meaningful connections between texts, their personal experiences, and societal topics. Participants earn points by successfully linking their readings to their own lives (Text-to-Self), other texts or media (Text-to-Text), and real-world events or historical contexts (Text-to-World). The goal is to reach 5 points to achieve the title of Master Connector. Students use a dice game to choose their connections, ensuring an interactive and fun approach to understanding literature. The activity fosters critical thinking by encouraging students to reflect on how stories relate to their experiences and the world around them, while providing structured tasks that promote collaboration and deep discussion.
