Title: Cereal Box Challenge

Category: ETC

Today’s Challenge: Create a new kind of cereal and its box. Using a piece of poster board, you and your team need to create your own box, with the goal of having the largest possible volume.

Teamwork Rubric Focus (Participation): 

My goal for participation today within my team is… making sure that every voice is heard

My Individual Plan tape and fold the paper into a box-like shape and then draw on the paper carefully so it doesn’t rip.

Why I think my plan will be successful: because whenever I had to make a box out of paper and tape that Idea always came to my head first.

Our Group’s Plan tape and fold the paper into a box-like shape and then draw on the paper carefully so it doesn’t rip.

We chose this plan because… it was the most simple and easy

Possible challenges that may come up during construction…paper ripping when trying to draw on it.

Each team member will be responsible for… levi-documenting the words Matan-making the box sean-drawing the logo

After the Build

Our design worked well because…it did not rip when we tried to tape it

This activity was challenging because…the paper kept falling down

This activity was comfortable because….it was easy for me and my group

I met my teamwork participation goal by… letting each Idea have a part in our final project

A strength of my team was….to not boss my teammates 

An area of growth for my team is… to spend more time on the challenge instead of talking

For our next challenge, my new teamwork participation goal for myself is…. to not boss my teammates

Title: Index Card Challenge

Category: ETC

Today’s Challenge: Using only an index card and scissors find a way to cut your index card so you can fit your entire body through it.

Teamwork Rubric Focus (organization):

My goal for organization/planning today within my team is… set up a simple plan and not argue with my group

My Individual Plan I will cut the card into strips and make the hole wide enough for someone in my group to fit through it

Why I think my plan will be successful:

Our Group’s Plan 

We chose this plan because…it was the most simple

Possible challenges that may come up during construction…the paper strips breaking.

Each team member will be responsible for …making each strip

After the Build

Our design worked well because… well we did not finish in time because the strips broke

This activity was challenging because… our strips kept breaking

This activity was comfortable because…. it was simple and easy (once we agreed on a idea)

I met my teamwork organization/planning goal by…figuring out a plan that was not hard or relay easy

A strength of my team was…. not arguing on whose plan was better

An area of growth for my team is… to not spend so much time talking about our plan and actually do the work.

For our next challenge, my new teamwork organization/planning goal for myself is…. to think of a plan that does not need to end with someones idea left out. 

Title: Newspaper Shoe Challenge

Category: ETC

Today’s Challenge: Using only newspaper, 24 inches of tape, and one scissors, you and your partner need to create one shoe that fits either you or your partner’s foot. The shoe must be able to come on and off without falling apart.

Teamwork Rubric Focus (Communication):

My goal for communication today within my team is…not to be the boss in my group

My Individual Plan make a box of newspaper and then where it.

Why I think my plan will be successful:

Our Group’s Plan: build around the shoe then take it off.

We chose this plan because… we knew that it would work

Possible challenges that may come up during construction…loss of tape

Each partner will be responsible for… making the design 

After the Build

Our design worked well because…we could slip it on and off.

This activity was challenging because…we could not figure out what design to use.

This activity was comfortable because….it was easy

I met my teamwork communication goal by…not being the boss in my group

A strength of my partnership was….we did not argue

An area of growth for my partnership is… i don’t know this

For our next challenge, my new teamwork communication goal for myself is….to listen to all of the ideas in my group.
