Good morning!

Have you ever felt so

• Making a connection is an important skill, which
allows us to find relevant meaning and
information between texts as well as personal
experiences.

- Journalistic texts are generally written to

inform by providing facts about a topic.

- Literary texts are usually written for

entertainment. They may come in a form of a
story or poem.
These stories may be based on reality or in
make- believe. These types of texts are
generally focused on the artistic side of writing.
• In making connections between texts to particular social
issues, you need to follow these simple tips:
1. Read the texts thoroughly, and be sure to understand the
messages of the texts
2. Determine what the text is about.
3. Identify particular concerns (particular concerns are
problems or issues which are related to the main idea of the
text)
4. Relate the particular issues to your own experiences.
5. Confirm if the particular issue is reflected in both texts.
6. Determine if both texts have the same opinion about the
idea.
7. State your own opinion about the idea presented by both
texts (What can you say about the opinion of the texts
regarding the idea?)
• Explore how texts may be connected as regard to
particular social issues within them and find solutions
for some concerns related to real life. vocabulary and
content.
On engaging with two different reading materials, you
may unlock ideas similar between texts. Though may
have similarity, in most cases, they may still have
differences.
• STEPS IN COMPARING AND CONTRASTING TWO
DIFFERENT TEXTS:
1. Select the texts you want to read. Try to answer the
following guide questions: - What does the content of each
selection remind me of? - Have I already encountered
texts with similar flow of events?
2. Identify the themes or the common ideas presented in
both texts.
3. Focus also on the ways how they are presented to
achieve greater comparison and contrast.
4. Use text evidences to support your ideas for
connections.
Text Evidences provide supporting ideas by getting details
from both texts. It is important to read the materials
thoroughly to get concrete proofs.
• ACE Strategy is a technique used to
effectively show connections through text
evidence.
A - Answer the question/s based on the two
texts you have read.
C - Cite evidence/s from the texts as
supporting details.
E - Explain your answer with support from the
piece of evidence you have cited by expressing
them in your own words
 According to Into the Book
(2015), good readers make
connections as they read. They
can relate the book to their
personal experiences, to
information from other texts or
from what they know about the
world .
CONNECTION BETWEEN TEXT

Text-to-Self
Text-to-Text
Text-to-World
 TEXT-TO-SELF
Text-to-self connections are highly personal connections that a reader makes between a piece
of reading material and the reader’s own experiences or life. An example of a text-to-self
connection might be, "This story reminds me of a vacation we took to my grandfather’s
farm."

connections between the text and reader’s life and experiences.

• What does this remind me of in my life?
• How is this different from my life?
• How does this relate to my life?
• What were my feelings when I read this?
 TEXT-TO-TEXT
Readers are reminded of other things that they have read, other books by the same
author, stories from a similar genre, or perhaps on the same topic. “This character has
the same problem that I read about in a story last year,” would be an example of a text-
to-text connection.
❖ connections between the text and other books, movies, songs, and articles

• What does this remind me of in another book I've read?

• How is this text similar/ different to other things I've read?
• Have I read about something like this before?
 TEXT-TO-WORLD
Text-to-world connections are the larger connections that a reader brings to a
reading situation. We all have ideas about how the world works that goes far
beyond our own personal experiences. We learn about things through television,
movies, magazines, and newspapers. An example of a text-to-world connection
would be when a reader says, "I saw a program on television that talked about
things described in this article."
❖ Connections between the text and events in real world and history.

• What does this remind me of in the real world?

• How is this book similar/ different to things that happen in the real world?
• How did that part relate to the world around me?
 Activity 1: Let’s Read

In the previous activity, you encountered

the word bullying and its definition. Now
read a paragraph that talks about bullying.

Bullying is comprised of direct behaviors such as teasing,

taunting, threatening, hitting, and stealing that are
initiated by one or more students against a victim. In
addition to direct attacks, bullying may also be more
indirect by causing a student to be socially isolated
through intentional exclusion. While boys typically engage
in direct bullying methods, girls who bully are more apt to
utilize these more subtle indirect strategies, such as
spreading rumors and enforcing social isolation.

Assessment 1: Self Check!

making a checklist. Put a check (√) if the following statements are
connected to you based on what you read.

1. life.

2. I experience the same thing.

4. The paragraph relates a lot to me.

5. It describes my present condition.

 Activity 2: Let’s Read Again!

In the prior activity, you came across the word

poverty and its definition.
Now read a paragraph that talks about poverty.

The poorest regions in a country are often the most

vulnerable since they have fewer pandemic response
resources—fewer health workers and clinics and less
medicine. When outbreaks begin, the poor are also more
likely to have already been suffering from malnutrition and
immunosuppressive conditions, which can increase
susceptibility to infectious diseases.

B ased on the paragraph about poverty, make connections between
the text to other books, movies, songs, and articles by answering the
following questions.
