What Is In?
 What is connection?
 How can you make connections while reading?
 Have you experienced this? Crying while reading? Or
laughing while reading?
 Have you ever read a story that you can totally relate
with? something that reminds you of yourself and your
 experiences?

 Watch the movie trailer of “The Flu”

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BvKZMg2LjU)

Questions:
1. What do you think the movie trailer is all about?
2. How will you connect the movie trailer and its conflict
on the present-day situation?

What Is It?
Making connections is a critical reading comprehension
strategy that helps in defining what you are reading.

When making connections to the text you are reading, it

helps you to:

• make sense of what you read

• retain the information better, and
• engage more with the text itself.

Three Types of Making Connections

1. Text-to-self
- You connect what you are reading to your personal
experiences.

Examples:
 I read a book about the best sports for kids. It reminded
me that I had a basketball practice that afternoon.
 I read a book how about eggs are produced. It reminded
me of my visit last summer to my grandparents’ farm.

Questions to Ponder/Ask
 What does this remind me of in my life?
 How is this similar to my life?
 How is this different from my life?
 Has something like this ever happened to me?
 How does this relate to my life?
 What were my feelings when I read this?

2. Text-to-text
- You connect what you are reading to other books that
you have read before.

Examples:
 I read a story about a boy who visited a magical land with
witches and wizards. It reminded me of the book Harry
Potter.
 While reading, John notices the main character in the
story is tough, just like the main character in the book he
read yesterday.
 Questions to Ponder/Ask
 What does this remind me of in another book I
have read?
 How is this text similar to other things I have
read?
 How is this different from other books I have
read?
 Have I read about something like this before?

3. Text-to-world
- You can connect what you are reading to real events,
whether in the past and present time, social issues,
other people and happenings going on in the world.

Examples:
 I read a story about how people talk without speaking,
and it reminded me of school where sign language is
taught.
 Lisa is reading a science fiction story. In the story, she
thinks that what happens to the characters could also
happen on Earth if people don’t start recycling more.
Questions to Ponder/Ask
• What does this remind me of in the real world?
• How is this text similar to things happening in real world?
• How is this different from things happening in real world?
• How does this part relate to the world around me?

What Is More?
Identify how the following readers make connections to
texts.

1. Eddie is reading a book where a character visits a loved

one in the hospital. It reminds of Eddie when he visited his
grandmother in the hospital.

What kind of making connection is this?

2. I read a magazine of about the new airport that the city is

planning to build. It reminded me of how small many local
airports are.

3. Sheila read an article about a woman who opened a boat

rental business at a lake. It reminded her of her tour in
Laguna lake.

5. Rommel is reading a book about rockets. He thinks that

something he read contradicts a fact he saw on another
book, so he makes a note to look it up when he gets
home.

C. Engagement
What I Can Do?
Group Activity

Read the poem “Crossing the Bar” by Alfred Lord

Tennyson. Reflect if this relates to you and the world you
live in by doing the group activity below.

You may refer to page 6 of English 9 module for the

poem.

Group 1:
Question: What does the poem remind you of in life?
How can you relate the meaning of the poem to your
personal experiences?

Expected Output: Take a picture that represents the

group’s answer for the assigned question. Make sure to
have at least 3-4 sentences caption of the picture.

Group 2:
Question: What does the poem remind you in another
book you have read? How is the poem similar to other
things you have read?

Expected Output: Create a short video blog/vlog that

contains the answer to the group’s assigned questions.
The group may also showcase the comparison of the
poem to other text, poetry, or book. The vlog must be at
least 3 minutes but not exceeding 5 minutes in length.

Group 3:
Question: How is this text similar to things happening in
real world? How does the poem relate to the world around
you?

Expected Output: Create an infographic that addresses

the group’s assigned question. The group may use Canva
or any platform to generate quality pictures for the
infographic.
  Criteria will be issued by the teacher to each group for
their guidance in finishing their assigned task. (please
see attached rubrics)

 Each group shall publish their work in their respective

social media accounts. Only one member will post the
group’s final output and the other members shall be
tagged to the post. Make sure to also tag your English 9
teacher.

What Else I Can Do?

 Make a Cultural Content Connections related to the text
you have read in Learning Task 1. Do this in your paper.
 
 (Refer to page 20-22 of English 9 Module for the format
and guidelines/rubrics)

I. Assimilation What I Have Learned?

- How are you going to differentiate the three types of
making connections in reading?

What I Can Achieved?

Read and analyze each statement from the book review of
Noli Me Tangere. Identify what kind of connection was made
from each statement. Write letter A if the connection is Text-
to-self, B if it is Text-to-text, and C if it is Text-to-world.

1. “In the 21st century, I would say that the Philippines is

still in shackles. The Philippines still does not allow
same-sex marriage. The Philippines still does not allow
divorce! And even the issue of birth control is highly
debated, only for the reason that the Catholic Church has
a huge and powerful control on the citizens. Sad to say,
Spain moved on. Spain now has same-sex marriage and
divorce. But the Philippines is still behind.”

What kind of connection was used in the statement

above?

2. “I have also read a lot of other books written by local

authors and the quality of Rizal’s writing is still
unsurpassed.”

What kind of connection was used in the statement

above?

3. “I really enjoyed this novel because it has everything in it

(drama, suspense, romance...) and it gives me a glimpse
of the period before the culmination of the Philippine
Revolutionary War. If you are not familiar with Philippine
History and Culture you might find it difficult to appreciate
the novel.”
 What kind of connection was used in the statement
above?

4. “This book made me proud that I’m a Filipino.”

What kind of connection was used in the statement

above?

5. The book does have a lot of long speeches and

digressions, a little like the ones in The Zenith. While
they weren’t as confusing as the ones in The Zenith (and
some were pretty insightful and would have made great
essays to read), they were enough that the pacing of the
book was spoiled for me, and it was far too easy to miss
key plot points in the story.

What kind of connection was used in the statement

above?
