Lesson
1
Make Connections between
Texts to Particular Social
Issues, Concerns, and
Dispositions in Real Life
A social problem or issue is any condition or behavior that has negative
consequences for large numbers of people and that is generally recognized as a
condition or behavior that needs to be addressed. It can also be define as a
phenomenon that influences many citizens within the society in different ways. Social
issues are also the source of social conflicts about how people perceive things either
morally correct or incorrect depending on their social life decisions.
However, this module also aims to allow the learner to make connections between
texts to particular social issues in real life. Making connections is the process of
linking what the students read, to what they already know. This strategy helps
students comprehend text, by activating their prior knowledge and making meaning of
what they read.

Cause and effect is a common way to organize information in a text. Paragraphs
structured as cause and effect explains reasons why something happened or the
effects of something. To put it concisely, cause is the why something happened and
effect is the “what happened”. Cause and effect are important elements of a text that
help the reader to follow a writer’s line of thought, regardless of whether that text is
fiction or nonfiction.
Direction: Using the Circle Model, write three (3) possible causes and three (3) possible
effects of the social issue presented then briefly explain why. Write the causes on the
blue circles and write the effects on the pink circles.

Making connections is the process of linking what the students read, to what they
already know. This strategy helps students comprehend text, by activating their prior
knowledge and making meaning of what they read.
There are three (3) ways of making connections.
a. Text-to-self answers the questions that aim to know the connection of the texts
you’ve read to your personal life.
For example:
What does this remind me of in my life?
How is this different from my life?
How does this relate to my life?
b. Text-to-text answers the questions that aim to know the connection of the previous
texts you’ve read to the present one.
For example:
What does this remind me of in another book I've read?
How is this text similar/ different to other things I've read?
Have I read about something like this before?
c. Text-to-world answers the questions that aim to know the connection of the texts
you’ve read to the real world.
For example:
What does this remind me of in the real world?
How is this book similar/ different to things that happen in the real world?
How did that part relate to the world around me?
Moreover, making connections between texts to particular social issues and concerns
can also be done more elaborative and comprehensive through the use of different
texts structures. Texts structure refers to how the information within a written text is
organized. This strategy helps students understand that a text might present a main
idea and details; a cause and then its effects; and/or different views of a topic.

16. 10
There are five (5) text structures.
