The student will watch the teacher crumble up a blank piece of paper. After, the paper will be unfolded. The students will notice that the paper cannot go back to being as smooth as before. The teacher will apologize to the paper. The students will be informed that even though the paper got an apology, the creases didn’t come out. This is the same when it comes to bullying. The students will be informed that when we read one book and it makes you think about another book; that is making a text to text connection. A text to text connection is a connection that is made between two books or texts that you have read. Text to text connections can be made by comparing characters, personalities, actions, and story events. Text to text connections can be made by the theme or message the author is trying to convey. We can even make text to text connections by comparing different versions of the same story. The students will listen to a read aloud by sharing My Secret Bully by Trudy Ludwig. For English language learners, the students will have a copy of the book in front of them to follow along. During the read aloud, the students will be asked to think about how this book reminds them of our previously read book, Just Kidding by Trudy Ludwig. The students will be informed that when making text to text connections, we can ask ourselves “What does this remind me of in another book I’ve read? How is this text similar to other things I’ve read? How is this different from other books
