Reader Connections in We've Got a Job

Question 9 • SHS Alt English 4 S1 - 2021

Which of these student responses to We’ve Got a Job: The 1963 Children’s March is an example of a text-to-self connection?

Answer
A
The building reminds me of Colonial America, because families lived in small homes.
B
The building reminds me of an article in Boys Life magazine entitled “Rustic Survival Tips.”
C
The building reminds me of the city setting in the book A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.
D
The building reminds me of a campground I’ve been to, because the plumbing was primitive.

Explanation

A text-to-self connection links something in the text to the reader’s own experience. Choice D connects the building’s primitive plumbing to a campground the student has personally visited. The other choices connect the building to historical information or other texts, rather than to the student’s life.
