Make Connections between two Separate Texts

Comparing Texts: Fiction vs Fact

Today's Agenda

Making Connections Between Two Separate Texts

Fig. 19F Make connections (e.g., thematic links, author analysis) between and across multiple texts of various genres, and provide textual evidence.

- Often works contain unstated messages called themes that can be applied in situations outside the text.

- At times works can have similar themes and completely different subject matters.

- It is important to think about the author when reading a work to see if our knowledge of his life or other works can help us understand the work better.

- Connections between fictional pieces can be made when looking at character types and the elements of plot.

- Texts of all different genres can share similar themes.

Strategies for Connecting Texts

Comparing Theme

  • When you CONNECT two texts you find relationships between them.
  • You COMPARE AND CONTRAST texts to see how they are alike or different
  • Find how the IDEAS connect
  • THEMES- the most important ideas or messages from the text
  • THEMATIC LINK- when two texts are connected by a common theme

Venn Diagrams are a great way to find connections

between texts:

AUTHOR ANALYSIS- comparing and contrasting the works of a single author

  • Does this author use the same theme over and over again?
  • Does this author keep their same writing style in everything they write?
