How is a text to world connection different from text to self?

Text to self links a text to your own life, like a time you felt nervous at a tryout. Text to world links it to real events and facts, like what scientists know about plastic in the ocean.

How do connections help explain a character's choice?

Thinking of a time they faced the same choice helps readers see why a character acts as she does. The found wallet sheet asks children to use their own connections to explain the choice Mia makes.

Is there an answer key for each worksheet?

Yes. All eight sheets have an answer key. It gives the text details and the answers to the closing questions, and marks the personal connection columns as answers that will vary.
