I have some connections to the story Wangari’s Trees of Peace: A True Story from Africa. An example of a text to self connection to this book is when I was younger when my mom used to give me apple to eat I used to try to grow an apple tree by using the left over seeds. Another example of a text to media connection is that when I was watching tv I heard stuff about kids and women in Africa. These are some connections I have made to the book Wangari’s Trees of Peace: A True Story from Africa.

In the story Fantastic Undersea Life of Jacques Cousteau created by and illustrated by Dan Yaccarina is about a kid who likes to share the marine world with the above ground world. An example of a text to self connection is that when I was in Mexico I went snorkelling and I took some pictures underwater. An example of a text to text connection is that I have read a book about the marine life and the beautiful and awesome fish you can find in the deep sea. An example of a text to world connection is that I have seen the pollution that is happening right now in real life and I have seen that people are trying to fix pollution.

In the story Bats Big Game by Margret Read MacDonald is about the animals and the birds who wanted to start a soccer game so they did. Then Bat came along and wanted to join so he joined the animal’s team. Then since the animals were losing he snuck off and asked if he could be on the bird’s team. The birds let him join. So then he played on the animal’s team again and then they noticed that he was switching teams and he got in trouble and wasn’t allowed to play. One of the text to self connection is that i play soccer. One text to text is that i have read a book about soccer. One text to media is that i have heard about the world cup on the news which has to do with soccer. One text to world is that when a soccer player I knew moved to another team because they were better and he would get paid more money. In conclusion I can make many different connections to this story.
