Students create a sense of personal meaning from texts when they can relate what is happening in a text to their own knowledge of the world. They do this by talking with the members of their book club about connections they have made and how those connections relate to the world at-large. This lesson is written out for you... feel free to change the demonstration text so it works for you.
