| Text Connections | |
|---|---|
| Text to Text | Connection that reminds you of something in another book or story |
| Text to Self | Connection that reminds you of something in your life. |
| Text to World | Connection that reminds you of something happening in the world. |
Students can easily make text-to-self connections throughout the book. In this activity, students will create a storyboard showing some of the text-to-self connections they made throughout the different stories.
The example storyboard shows one text to self connection for each story.
TEXT TO SELF
Text -"Icicles": Poppleton's house has lots of icicles.
"Poppleton was proud of them. He never knocked them down."
Self: This reminds me of my old house that used to have tons of icicles. You had to be careful, or else one could fall on you.
Text - "The Bust":
Poppleton is always creative in the winter.
"Another winter he painted stars all over his floors."
Self: This reminds me of when I painted the walls of my new room.
Text - "The Sleigh Ride": Poppleton is disappointed when he thinks all his friends cannot go on a sleigh ride.
"He sat in front of his window, feeling very sorry for himself."
Self: I feel disappointed and lonely when I have no one to play with.
