This Week's IRA: Connections

            We have discussed three different types of connections that readers make as they read:

text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world.  As you read in your independent reading book this week, make one “text-to-self” connection, one “text-to-text” connection, and one “text-to-world” connection. Write down three connections that you make to your book.  Describe the passage in the story and how you connect to that passage.  Be sure to identify each connection you make by type.  Turn in the connections assignment by Friday.  Don’t forget to include your book’s title.
