Text ConnectionsWhen we make text connections, we use writing to reflect on the personal connections we make between the texts we are reading and our own lives. 3 Types of Text Connections 1.Text to Self 2.Text to Text 3.Text to World

Text to Self Connection Text to self connections involve instances when readers feel personal connections with text events or character’s emotions. Text to Text Connection Text to text connections involve connecting ideas across texts. The concept of texts can be a broad one here; we might connect text to a movie or song for example. These can include comparing characters’ personalities and actions; story events and plot lines; lessons, themes, or messages in stories; finding common themes, writing styles, or perspectives in an authors work; or comparing the treatment of common themes by different authors. Text to World Connection Text to world connections are the most sophisticated connections we can make. With these types of connections, we reflect on the relationship between the content of the text and the wider world. This could include connections related to world events, issues, or concerns.
