Making Connections to Prior Knowledge!

From This start of this week my reading group has been focusing on the facts of clowns. We got given a work sheet where we had to fill in a before ( What we already know about clowns ) and a during ( what we found out about clowns ) and After ( all together )... Now I will show you some examples of what i'm meaning. We have been taught the 3 way of thinking about this.

Text to self: Think about your own experience... This part make me think about the time i lost something special to me. I know what it feels like to lose something special.

Text to text: Text to text connections are we compare the text we are reading to similar texts. These texts could be a books or visual text such as a movie or tv program... This character remind me of harry potter. They were both boys who were orphans and got brought up my an aunt and uncle who were mean to them.

Text to world: This is when a connection what we are reading to thing that can or actually happen in the real world... The boy in this story is running to class president. He is promising to organise lots of fun activities for students at lunchtime. This reminds me of how politicians try to get people to vote for them. 

I hoped you learned something from this as I learned different types of ways to compare reading to things... Please give me feedback in the comments :)
