I read a story about a boy who loved to eat cheese for breakfast. It reminded me of the time we ran out of cereal and my mum made me a cheese sandwich for breakfast.

Text:  Bonnie was eating mac and cheese for lunch.  It was her favorite meal.  She liked eating chicken nuggets but not as much.

Connection response:  That reminds me of the time I read about how chicken is good for you.

Text: My dad and I were solving math puzzles.  My dad loves math and is very quick at it.  I am a little scared of numbers, but with my dad by my side, I was having fun!
Connection response: That reminds me of a time I read a story about numbers fighting with each other.

What is this similar to in my life?
How is this different from my life?
What were my feelings when I read this? 
These are questions you ask yourself when making what type of text connection?
