(in a dark, gloomy, shadowy, murky, depressing, dishearted, sepulchral voice) For the past 1 week all of the reading groups in my class has been learning the strategy "Making Connections." Making connections is a strategy to understand the story by experiencing it your self in one point of time in your life so you know how the character feels.
Examples:
Think this. A character is going to got skydiving or going on a zip line, the character feels nervous but excited at the same time. Now if you ever felt that way you know how the character feels so you can relate and understand their emotions.
A more relatable one is going to school for a first time.
At first the task seemed easy, but it wasn't, not long after I got the hang of it. One thing I could change is what words or sentences I need to use to get the right answer because for some reason I got something totally different just to get the answer. I also had to do this sheet.
My sources are : https://sites.google.com/stbernadetteschch.school.nz/seniorsyndicate/ms-wilton-reading, I do have another source but my school had to get access to it. Which means they most likely got permission. But its called "bek's literacy hub".
