connections between what they read and what they already know; and think
deeply about what they have read. One big part of comprehension is having a

increases when thinking about the negative consequences of not being able to
read in critical situations. For instance, not being able to read and comprehend
chemicals can put individuals in a very dangerous situation that threatens their
safety and lives (Marshall, n.d.). If not being able to successfully read prevents

education, the higher one puts effort in studying. Thus, one of the continuing
experiences. One way to have students make the connection between content
and find value in learning is to give them ownership of the process through
Project Based Learning (PBL). When students are allowed to make decisions on
what they are learning and how they are learning it, they become invested in the
outcome more and actively engaged in the learning. This enables them to not
only determine the outcome but to see how the content relates to the world in
which they live, as well as giving them control of the learning process.
