Independent Reading Project Reflection

From the independent reading project, I learned a new book called the catcher in the rye. At first, I wasn’t really motivated to read the book because I thought I could have more than a month to read it. However, as the deadline for the project approached, I got very motivated to finish reading the whole book on time within less than 6 hours and manage to get my project on time. In this project, I did a 3D model of a scene in the book, or I will say it’s a diorama. Originally I was planning to do three scenes, but I was kind of procrastinating for the project, so in the end I only get 1 scene done. But I will say I did a pretty good job with the scene that it includes lots of details and it’s large enough for people to appreciate a scene in the book. I found this type of project to be fun and creative. It allows me to make connection of the book to other text, self or the world. It allows me to further explore the detail of the book to further understand the theme and the personality of a character.
