How have you changed as a group member this year in ETC? I have given other people a chance to talk that way we can have more ideas to work with.
How has working in ETC made you a better student in other classes? (Social Studies, ELA, Jewish Studies, Hebrew, Math, Science) BY helping my friends when they need help.
Thinking about my blog posts, I have improved by…. Writing more and more every blog post.
In the future, I plan to improve my blog posts by…. writing a ton of answers to help me.
Today’s Challenge: Using only provided materials ( 6 straws, 1 piece of paper, a piece of tinfoil, 12 inches of masking tape, 2 paperclips, 2 pieces of string, 1 envelope, and 2 pipe cleaners) create a structure that holds two cups as high as possible and as far apart as possible.
Teamwork Rubric Focus:
My goal for participation today while working in my group is…
My Individual Plan <insert photo of sketch and/or type out a plan> My plan is to put the paper on the top so the cups are far apart but also taped down and use pipe cleaners and straws to hold the bottom.
Why I think my plan will be successful: because I have faith and trust it
My Groups Plan <insert photo or sketch and/or type out a plan>
We chose this plan because… it was the best one
Possible challenges that may come up during construction… break or fall
Each group member will be responsible for… documenting and building

Today’s Challenge: Using only provided materials (two pieces of construction paper, 1 pair of scissors, 1 ruler and one 12-inch strip of masking tape) create the longest paper chain possible.
Teamwork Rubric Focus:
My goal for teamwork today is… is to not be so bossy
My Individual Plan <insert photo of sketch and/or type out a plan> my plan would be to use my material wisely by not using all of it at once because if I whereto mess up I would have no more material but if I used my material wisely by using my materials in a good way by being smart and tape paper together and the attache the ruler.
I think my plan will be successful: because it is a goal of mine
My Groups Plan <insert photo or sketch and/or type out a plan> we will roll up the paper into one thin tube and then we would tape it so that it would hold then we will tape a ruler to the bottom so its longer.
We chose this plan because… because we thought it was the best plan out of them all
Possible challenges that may come up during construction… it could break or not fit or hold or not be a chain
Each group member will be responsible for… LS is responsible for the ruler AJK job is tape and scissors AK job is paper.
