Your job is to find connections between the section your group is reading and the outside world. This means connecting the reading to your own life, to happenings at school or in the community, to similar events at other times and places, or to other people or problems that you are reminded of. You might also see connections between this section and other books you have read. There are no wrong answers – whatever the reading connects you with is worth
sharing.
If you are writing about your connections they should be in COMPLETE sentences. They should EXPLAIN how and why you connect to the story in DETAIL. A one sentence explanation is not acceptable and does not show the reader that you have actually read the book.
Here are some questions you can ask yourself to help make these connections..
Sample Questions
What connections can you make to your own life?
What other places or people could you compare this story to?
What other books or stories might you compare to this one?
What other characters or authors might you compare to this one?
What is the most interesting or important connection that comes to mind?
How does this section relate to those that came before it?
How can you show these connections?
