2a) Reflection section:

In the novel, there is an entrance that lead Jesse and May Belle to the imaginary kingdom, Terabithia. We have included the bridge in our model which leads the children into a whole new world. It inspired us to make a bridge at the entrance so that the children with terminal illness can feel that they are in their own imaginary land, away from the real world.

In the novel, Jess and Leslie cilmbed up the tree to have a bird eye view of Terabithia. We have included trees and so called 'platform' which allow the children to have a bird eye's view of the whole playland. It inspired us to have the urge to let children to also have a bird eye's view of the Terabithia.

In the novel, there are lots of fences which gives a rural feel. We have included fences in our model which seperates our room in our playground model and also giving the children a feel of being in a rural world. It inspired us to seperate the 'rooms' by fences instead of walls and to also let they children enjoy themselves in a rural kind of world.

2b) Write a 100-word explanation as to why you had chosen the specific recycled materials for your model.

Materials We Used
- ice cream sticks
- wooden board
- twine (string)
- satay sticks
- cardboard
- old magazines
- toilet roll
- rough papers

Explanation
We used all these materials stated above, mainly because they can be recycled and biodegradable. We used materials like toilet rolls, ice-cream sticks, wooden board, twine, cardboards, rough papers, old magazines and satay sticks as they are biodegradable and also environmentally friendly. We used them to build the model because some are used by us in our everyday life and we mostly throw them away after using it. Instead of throwing them away, we collected it for this project. After this project, we are able to sell those old magazines, cardboards and rough papers to the rag and bone man. For other materials which cannot be recycled like blutack and scotch tape, we could reuse them like putting up student's work, instead of stapler.
