Question 2a.
Explain how your reading of the novel has inspired the design in the playground in 100 words.


First of all, there is a bridge connecting the playground to the main building. It served as an entrance to the playground like how Leslie and Jesse did. The balls on the ground are used to protect the children if they fall down. The balls served as a protection for them as the playground is to protect the children like what Terabithia has done to Leslie and Jesse to protect them from emotional sufferings. It also served as an obstacle for the kids as the balls are hard to balance on. If they fall, they will have to stand up their own. There are monkey bars and ladders for them to climb on. This can act as an obstacles to the children as it is not easy to climb on monkey bars and ladders which requires strong will to accomplish. It is like the obstacles in the novel that Jesse and Leslie had faced. They have to overcome these obstacles.The swing is also found as Jess and Leslie used a rope to swing across and Jess managed to overcome the fear of swinging across. The projector gaming world is like the imaginary world of Terabithia. It is virtual. It allows the children to have fun just like Jess and Leslie in Terabithia in the novel.

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

The materials we have used for our projects are ice cream sticks, card boards, toilet rolls, wrapping papers, strings and papers. The reason why we used the ice cream sticks to build the 'tree house' is because the sticks are strong and can be trusted to build a sturdy building. Not only that, the sticks also are used to make benches, swings and monkey bars. The toilet rolls is used to make slide because it can be bend and is not as weak as normal paper. The cardboard is used as the base and walls of our model as they are very strong. The wrapping papers are used to decorate our model. The strings are used for the swings and hold the ornaments aloft. the papers are used to make paper balls as they can be easily squashed into paper balls. All the materials used are biodegradable and can be link to the three R's, Reduce Reuse and Recycle.
