Making Text-to-Self Connections

 

Each Tuesday this semester, we will be making text-to-self connections through journal writing about a weekly excerpt from the nonfiction book/memoir Tuesday's with Morrie by Mitch Albom.  Here is a short tutorial on making text-to-self connections: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PyVf2h57lus

You will be given 3-5 prompts to choose from and you may write on multiple prompts if you wish.  Text-to-Self Connections ask you to answer the question, "How does this apply to me?"  The sole purpose from Mitch and Morrie to publish this book was for readers to apply Morrie's wisdom to their daily lives, which is what we're going to have the privilege to do in class through written reflection!  Each journal entry is assigned on a Tuesday and due the following Friday with your weekly binder/folder.

Here is a little background information on the author and his relationship with his teacher/mentor, Morrie Schwartz (0-2:15): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rPN8KuiDh_s
