It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled
"Making Connections: The Car Crash" that asks students to make connections between a narrative about a car crash and their own experiences, the real world, and other texts or movies.
Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve the task based on the text provided in your description. Here's how to approach each section of the worksheet:
---
📝 The Story Summary (from the text):
A child and their dad are driving to the supermarket when they suddenly lose control of the car after swerving to avoid something. The car crashes into the side of the road, but both survive without injury. Smoke comes from the car, and the police arrive to check for damage. The child realizes that the loud bang was caused by the car’s airbag deploying. The police ensure safety, and the fire brigade is called. The child feels lucky and relieved.

✔ Task 1: Make Two Connections Between the Text and Your Own Life
This is a
personal connection — think about times when you’ve experienced something similar, felt fear, or been in a situation where safety measures helped.
#### Example Answers:
1.
I once had a scare while riding my bike when a car turned too fast. Like the boy in the story, I felt my heart race and was scared, but I was okay because I was wearing a helmet.
2.
When I was younger, I saw an airbag deploy in a car accident nearby. It was loud and surprising, just like in the story, and it made me realize how important safety features are.

✔ Task 2: Make Two Connections Between the Text and the Real World
This is a
real-world connection — think about facts, science, or societal issues related to the story.
#### Example Answers:
1.
Airbags are designed to protect people during car crashes. Just like in the story, they inflate quickly to cushion the impact and reduce injury.
2.
Emergency services like police and fire brigades respond to accidents to keep people safe. This shows how important public safety systems are in our communities.

✔ Task 3: Make Two Connections Between the Text and Another Text/Movie
This is a
text-to-text or
text-to-movie connection — compare this story to another book, movie, or show.
#### Example Answers:
1.
This reminds me of the movie *Cars*, where cars get into accidents and have to be fixed. Even though it's animated, it shows how dangerous crashes can be and how important safety is.
2.
In the book *Wonder* by R.J. Palacio, the main character faces scary situations, just like the boy in the story. Both characters feel afraid but come out stronger and more grateful afterward.

🔍 Tips for Writing Strong Connections:
- Use
specific details from the story.
- Explain
how the connection relates (e.g., “Just like in the story…”).
- Show
thinking — don’t just say “I’ve seen a car crash,” explain what you learned or felt.
