You can make strong, weak or distracting connections when you read. Weak and distracting connections don't lead to deeper meaning of the text. Make strong connections to help you better understand what you are reading.

Help
Make strong connections to better understand what you are reading.
First, read the text "Pollution is Personal." Then read the poster.
Choose the strongest connection between the texts and drag it to the slingshot. Try not to choose the weak or distracting connection. Type why it is the strongest connection.
Next fling the man over the buildings. You get to go over:
2 buildings if you choose the strong connection
1 building if you choose the weak connection
0 buildings if you choose the distracting connection
Taller buildings are worth more points. You get four turns to get 100 points so all of the smog can be cleared from the city.
