Homework:

Read your book bag book and make a connection. Write about this connection in your homework journal.  The sentence should begin with "Ce livre me rappelle de..." (This book reminds me of...)

Parents - making connections is about readers making links between what they are reading and things that they already know. There are three types of connection:

1. Text-to-text (texte-à-texte). This is when a reader makes a connection between what s/he is reading and another text that s/he has already read. 
2. Text-to-self (texte-à-soi). This is when a reader makes a connection between the text and something in his/her life. E.g. When a girl in the story kicked the soccer ball, it reminded me about the soccer team that I play on every week.
3. Text-to-world (texte-au-monde). This is a connection between the text and something s/he knows about the world. E.g., in the Lorax, all the trees are cut down which destroys the habitat for multiple animals. This reminds me that in the world, we know that we mustn't harm the earth in order to protect it and keep it safe for ourselves and other living things.
