Clarisa is reading an article about a middle school boy who is raising money for his school's sports department. She remembers h
earing an interview about a middle school student in a different country who is raising money to fix his school's roof. How does she establish a text-to-world connection? by using direct experience to relate to what the boy is doing by using background knowledge to help her understand the text by remembering reading about this same story in a newspaper by remembering hearing a similar story that happened elsewhere
D). by remembering hearing a similar story that happened elsewhere.
Explanation:
Text-to-world connection is characterized as the association which readers develop between the events that take place in the text and the events they have heard about in their own world through television, newspaper, magazine, radio, etc. In the given situation, Clarisa initiates a text-to-world connection by 'recalling hearing a similar story that happened elsewhere.' It would <u><em>help her in a better understanding, experiencing a real-life connection that the author brings to the text, and evoke the intended feelings and response</em></u>. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
