Activity Overview

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.

Making connections is a very important skill to acquire and perfect. The Treasure is a great story for students to connect to. The storyboard example below includes only one connection, but students will make three types of connections: text to text, text to world, and text to self.


TEXT TO SELF

Text: Isaac has a reoccurring dream where a voice tells him to go to the city and look for treasure.

Self: I once had a dream about finding treasure and becoming rich.
