Newspaper Shoe Challenge

 

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… Listening to their ideas and having them listen to my ideas 

 

My Individual Plan 

Take off my shoe, and surround it in newspaper. Then I will tape it together, take out the shoe, and put the newspaper shoe on.

Why I think my plan will be successful: Because it will fit my foot and it will be wider so it won’t break. Since it will be bigger, it will be easy to slide on and off of my foot. 

Our Group’s Plan

  1. Wow! I think it is so great that you went through three drafts before you completed the challenge. I am also really proud that you met your goal by listening to others. Your shoe turned out great because of the plan you and your group came up with. Way to go!
