Dirty Beasts / Twits Literacy

WALT make text-to-text, text-to-world and text-to-self connections with what we read

Click on this link to read about the aftermath of the Japan disaster one year on.

In a comment, make some text-to-text, text-to-world and text-to-self connections with what you have read in the article.




When you have made 4 or 5 connections, have a browse on TIME for kids or Kids National Geographic. You are looking for some interesting texts that we can use in our guided reading to practise making connections and paraphrasing information. Email me the link for the articles you find and we can try them next week!

  2. *I made a text to world connection because of the Christchurch earthquake and how everyone reacted to that. I watched it on TV with my family.
    *I made a text to self connection because when there are ever earthquakes in Wellington, veven small ones, I get scared so I can't imagine even surviving a big one. I would be scared to death.
    *I made a text to text connection because in my old school we got a letter from someone who was in Christchurch at the time when the earthquake hit and how scared she was and we got to read the letter she sent us.

  4. TEXT TO WORLD CONNECTION
    1:I can make a text to world connection by thinking about all the other countries who have had bad earthquakes ie: Haiti,NZ etc...
    2: TEXT TO SELF CONNECTION
    MY text to self connection is about all the other minor earthquakes in wellington and thinking they were bad, but the japan earthquake makes everything else seems like a tiny vibration.

    When my little brother sent a present to a boy in christchurch it just makes you think about how hard it is to live through a disaster.
