Responding to Literature
Making Connections
Have students to make connections to literature with their own experiences. Have them to ask themselves the following questions: What does the reading remind you of from your own experience? Do the characters remind you of anyone you have known? Do the issues or conflicts from the text have any connection to problems you have ever experienced?
