Today for reading we played a game called Slingshot to understanding . In this game, we had to read a short essay about the smog in China. Then we compared it to either a video, a flyer, a recipe, or a story that was similar in a way to the essay. When we have chosen and typed down our answer, we either make a strong, weak, or distracting connection (you'll find out what I mean if you decide to play the game). If you have a strong one, you get to jump to a far building. If you got a weak one you only got to jump to the buildings closest to you. But you wouldn't jump if you got a distracting one. What you are learning through this game is to make connections with the information about this topic and other prior knowledge you have about this topic. The challenge in the game is to get rid of all the smog in the city.
