Personal Connections to Literature: Engaging with Stories

DESCRIPTION

This lesson aims to deepen student engagement with literature by exploring personal connections to stories. By reflecting on their own experiences, students will generate thesis statement ideas that resonate with their lives. Through various prompts, such as reflecting on competition with friends or feelings of disappointment, students will relate their emotions to characters and narratives. The discussion encourages a more meaningful interpretation of texts. Students will complete a graphic organizer to articulate their connections with mentor texts and summer reading books.
