Specific Expectation

make connections between personal experiences and the content of texts to consolidate and extend understanding of different types of texts, including:<ul><li>Informational texts (e.g., explain why they agree or disagree with an author's point of view; explain how they would use the information provided in an information paragraph in their own lives)</li><li>Narrative texts (e.g., compare a decision made by a person in a narrative with the choice they would have made in the same situation)</li><li>Graphic texts (e.g., relate information from graphic texts to their own purposes for reading and/or to information from other sources – for example, by using a road map to help plan a trip)</li></ul>
