Making connections to the text you're reading may help build a deeper appreciation and understanding of the material. Second graders practice making text to self and text to life connections as they read two passages; one about Martin Luther King and one about American symbols. As a class they read and then chart what they know about the text and why. They independently compose a paragraph describing how they used prior knowledge to connect to each piece.
