Connetions

Today we talked about making connections while we read. By making connections we are able to make better sense of what we read. Sometimes it is a text to self connection, sometimes a text to text connection and other times it is a text to world connection.

Please reply to this post with 2 connections you made while reading today. Explain which type of connections they are (t to s, t to t, t to w)  then go into detail explaining what part of the story you connected to and tell what your connections were. Remember to go beyond the very basic "I have been on an airplane" to something more in-depth "I connected to how Alex felt when his parents split up....."

Questions

This is your first reply for Forbidden City. Please type out at least 2 questions you had while we read the first 2 chapters. Remember to take time to communicate clearly so that spelling and punctuation matter.
