Text and World Connections

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is structured to help students draw parallels between the content of a text and their own personal experiences or broader worldly knowledge. The top half prompts the student to summarize or quote a passage from a text, while the bottom half is a space for them to describe how the text relates to something they know or have experienced. The layout includes a book icon to symbolize the text and a globe icon to represent the student’s personal or worldly connection, visually reinforcing the task at hand.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students the important skill of relating what they read to a larger context, whether it be their own life or the world around them. It encourages students to think critically about how the themes or facts in a text are applicable beyond the pages of a book. This exercise aids in cultivating global thinkers who can see the interconnectedness of literature and reality. Additionally, it fosters a deeper understanding and retention of the text by anchoring it to personal or global associations.
