Individual Reflections for Literature Mid-Year Project 2008 Sec 2 Express
Eco-friendly features about my group’s 3D-model: We made used of ice cream sticks, Styrofoam board and plasticine.
Remarks (e.g. materials to be used, relevant research with links, photograph links etc): We did some research of the different playground pictures using Google and Yahoo. The materials that we used are Styrofoam board, superglue, paints, brown plasticine and ice-cream sticks which were mostly coloured ones.
Playground designs/concepts that are linked to the novel and explanation of how the designs/concepts are linked to the novel: 1) We used ice-creams sticks to make the walls of the two castles because the ice-creams sticks resemble the woods that were used in the novel for making their secret island. 2) We painted the Styrofoam board green in colour because as said in the novel, Jesse and Leslie’s tree house was on a patch of green grass. 3) There was also a bridge placed between the two castles for those children to cross over to the other side if they wanted to. 4) We added some tables and chairs in one of the castles because in the novel, there was some furniture in the tree house too.
Playground designs/concepts that meet the special needs of the children and explanation of how the designs meet the special needs of the children: The facilities that we have in the playground are not dangerous to the terminally-illed children. We also included tables and chairs in one of the castles and they are for the children to do their own drawings or play with the toys provided. We painted the castles with a variety of colours because we are thinking of adding some colours to their life before they leave the world. We placed a staircase in one of the castles for children to climb up to the second level in order to get across to the next castle.
