2a. Reflection Section:
Explain how your reading of the novel has inspired the design of the playground in 100 words.
We have a bridge at the entrance of the playgroundwhich is the same as the novel as they have a bridge at the entrance to Terabithia too. At our playground, children can find confidence and have lots of fun. They will also know that they are not neglected just like Jess in the novel. Our slides, swing, and spinner cn let them have fun and boost up their confidence at the same time. Our playground let the children feel that they are like a king or queen just like Jess and Leslie in Bridge to Terabithia.
2b. Write a 100-word explanation as to why you had chosen the specific recycled materials for your model.Our recycled materials consists of wooden board , icecream sticks , toothpicks , cardboard and toilet rolls . We chosen all these because they're not only biodegradable , they're also found to be of use in our everyday life . We've shown that these materials can be recycled to construct something else with creativity instead of throwing them away . These materials are also easy to be used . Not only can we build a pretty and comparable to those 'playgrounds-that-do-not-use-recycled-materials' model , at the same time we are also helping to save the environment .

WIP01 - Research
(target group: children with non-contagious but terminal illnesses)
What is Terminal Restlessness or Agitation?
Those who work with the dying know this type of restlessness or agitation almost immediately. However, the public and patient's family may have no idea what is going on and often become quite alarmed at their loved one's condition.
What does it look like? Although it varies somewhat in each patient, there are common themes that are seen over and over again.
They may yell out using uncharacteristic language, sometimes angrily accusing others around them. They appear extremely agitated and may not be objective about their own condition. They may be hallucinating, having psychotic episodes and be totally "out of control." At these times, the patient's safety is seriously threatened.
Some patients may demand to go to the hospital emergency room, even though there is nothing that can be done for them there. Some patients may insist that the police be called ... that someone unseen is trying to harm them. Some patients may not recognize those around them, confusing them with other people. They may act as if they were living in the past, confronting an old enemy.
