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…

My goal for today within my team is to make sure that everyone is doing something and that no one is left out. Also maybe I want everyone to be able to have a little part of their own idea in the group plan.

 

My Individual Plan

My plan is to make tube out of some stacked newspaper (to make it stronger) that fits on someone’s foot (in my group), then put some stacked newspaper where the toes would be  and then add a little more stacked newspaper around the ankle and leg and make sure everything is strong so it won’t rip.

Why I think my plan will be successful:

I think my plan will be successful because the newspaper stacks should make the paper a little stronger so it probably won’t break.

 

Our Group’s Plan 

We are going to make slippers by making a base and then putting a piece of newspaper on the front.

We chose this plan because…

We chose this plan because they seem easy and should be easy to make.

Possible challenges that may come up during construction…

The part in front might rip so we might need to make them thicker.

Each partner will be responsible for…

YGaines21 will tape and I will cut and put the shoe together.

After the Build

 

Our design worked well because…

Our design worked well because it didn’t fall apart and it only took five minutes so we were able to make two!

This activity was challenging because…

This activity wasn’t really challenging but if I had to say something that was hard, it was cutting out the shape of the foot because I kept almost cutting YGaines21’s sock.

This activity was comfortable because….

This activity was comfortable because the kind of shoe we made was really easy and we got a lot more tape than we get in other challenges.

I met my teamwork communication goal by…

I met my goal because both of our ideas were kind of in the shoe.

A strength of my partnership was….

A strength of my partnership was that we didn’t fight and were able to make a pair of shoes.

An area of growth for my partnership is…

An area of growth would be that maybe we take a little more time on the design because a lot of people did the same thing we did.

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

My teamwork goal is to have everyone do a job because we didn’t really stick to our jobs and we kind of did anything.
