Text to Text Connections

Today we learnt more about text to text connections.  We know that as we read a story we can make a connection to another story we've read.  Today we reread Grumpy Nicola and then read When Sophie Gets Angry - Really, Really Angry... As we read we asked ourselves:

• What does this remind me of in another book I've read?
• Have I read something like this before?
• Do the characters in the story remind me of characters from another story?
• Does the setting in the story remind me of the setting in another story?

We made text to text connections between Grumpy Nicola and When Sophie Gets Angry - Really, Really Angry... Some students were even able to make a text to text connection between one of the books we read in class and another book they've read on their own.

Here are our connections:

When Sophie's angry in Sophie Gets Angry reminds me of when Harry gets angry in Harry Potter.

When Sophie Gets Angry - Really, Really Angry... reminds me of The Forever Whale because the sisters both fight.

When Sophie gets angry reminds me of Nicola getting grumpy.

When Sophie Gets Angry - Really, Really Angry... reminds me of Grupmy Nicola because they are both happy at the end.

When Sophie Gets Angry - Really, Really Angry... reminds me of Grumpy Nicola because they were both unhappy. 

When Sophie and Nicola got very angry in both books they both wanted to be alone.
