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…

To control my emotions so I don’t dictate the project.

My Individual Plan 

I will measure the foot then I will use that measurement as the base of my foot. Since I am doing a sandal I will make a base for the heel to rest on. I will finish my shoe by putting a piece of paper over your feet but leaving the toes showing. Then I will tape the sandal together.

Why I think my plan will be successful:

My sister made this design and it held up to this day and she made it in June, so I am pretty confident.

Our Group’s Plan  

We chose this plan because…

Our plans were very similar so we chose one (which was mine).

Possible challenges that may come up during construction…

The shoe might fall apart during the process so that will be challenging.

Each partner will be responsible for…

Somebody will be the model so we can build the shoe and someone will build it.

After the Build

 

Our design worked well because…

We completed the shoe.

This activity was challenging because…

The shoe was not great.

This activity was comfortable because….

We did it.

I met my teamwork communication goal by…

letting my team member help a lot.

A strength of my partnership was….

We worked very well.

An area of growth for my partnership is…

We had different visions

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

Have fun!

Sincerely,

  1. It’s great that you were able to rely on something that you had noticed elsewhere (in this case, your sister’s home-made shoe) and apply to a different hands-on project. Great job synthesizing old observations with new demands!
