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…

to communicate if the shoe feels good or not good if I am wearing it.

My Individual Plan <insert photo of sketch and/or type out a plan>

My plan is to make the shoe layered and thick so it doesn’t fall apart or break and find a shoe that is easy and sturdy. 

Why I think my plan will be successful:

I think it will be successful because it is sturdy and not weak.  

Our Group’s Plan <insert photo or sketch and/or type out the plan>

the plan is to make slides shoes that are strong and thick.

We chose this plan because…

because it is easy to make and it should work because it is thick and sturdy.

Possible challenges that may come up during construction…

it could break or we could argue.

Each partner will be responsible for…

JB: model and builder DY: builder and designer. 

After the Build

<insert photo of completed shoe>

Our design worked well because…

it was supported and it slid on and off. 

This activity was challenging because…

we didn’t know if it would break or even fit so we went with our gut.

This activity was comfortable because….

I was with my friend and I have done something like this before.

I met my teamwork communication goal by…

I communicated when it worked and didn’t and told my partner if it needed more tape.

A strength of my partnership was….

we communicated to each other telling each other what we needed.

An area of growth for my partnership is…

we could have used our time better and not make as many details.

For our next challenge, my new teamwork communication goal for myself is…

to be able to to the other side of the challenge and not be the model.
