Making Connections

1) Making connections between Literature and real life is important. Literature holds a mirror up to reality and is intended to teach the reader some form of truth.

2) Making connections with other people through a shared love of books and poetry whether it is in the classroom or across the globe via blogging is important. Increasing literacy and sharing knowledge improves quality of life.

3) Making connections between English class and other subjects. Associative thinking is modern. It increases students creativity and it helps them see how everything fits together and how each subject that they study is important.
