U5L1 Connections (Review) Open the Word document "Connections" from within the lesson. Save it as E202U5L1surname In this document, complete the chart as outlined below. Submit this assignment using the Folder for U5L1 connections. Using the 'connections' chart provided (under Resources), match each text studied this term with a text from a different unit. Explain in two or three concise, yet detailed sentences what the two texts have in common (discuss theme, character or conflict and make specific reference to each literary work). Do not generalize; this chart is key to the exam preparation you are doing, so be sure to add enough detail to aid in study purposes. NOTE - Stating that two works are both' stories' is not an acceptable answer. NOR is stating 'both have the same theme'.
