Team+Work

The Straw Challenge:  The Straw Challenge was a 18 minute activity where we were in groups of 4 and we were given a package of straws and we were told to build the tallest structure we could using only the straws. We could not use even the papers that the staws come in.   1.We acheived the objective because we were able to build a structure out of straws that was quite tall, the seacond tallest out of our class.  2. My individual performance was quite good because I was able to contribute my ideas and keep our structure as orginized as possible so we could have it as tall as we could.  My team's performance was a little sloppy because we had people trying to compleatly take over and people just sitting in the corner contributing nothing.  3. The most Challenging part was to try to have all our ideas in one structure. We all had many ideas that were good so it was hard incorperating all of them.  4. Working in a team means everyone adding to and creating one final product that is a reflection of all our personalities and ideas mixed together.  5. Team work is important because it allows people to collaberate together and combine many ideas together to create one big project. Teamwork also premotes caring environments between students.  6. I need to stay calm and keep my head. I also have to refrain fron getting really frustrated really fast.
