Activity Overview
| Text Connections | |
|---|---|
| Text to Text | Connection that reminds you of something in another book or story |
| Text to Self | Connection that reminds you of something in your life. |
| Text to World | Connection that reminds you of something happening in the world. |
Making connections is a very important skill to acquire and perfect. A Medieval Feast is a great story for students to connect to on many different levels. In this activity, students will be making text to text, text to self, and text to world connections. Students should choose which connection they want to make first and then write a narrative for that. Once all three connections have been made, students can work on their illustrations.
TEXT TO TEXT
The feast in A Medieval Feast reminds me of the dinner that Harry Potter has on his first night at Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
TEXT TO SELF
The story mentions a peacock that they cooked for the feast. This reminds me of the time when I saw a peacock at the zoo.
TEXT TO WORLD
The story reminded me of a news program that I watched that was about life during Medieval times.
