Gimmie Shelter!

One of the weekly aspects of AVID is "Friday Team Day" activities. For some of our Friday activities, groups are given a task to accomplish in a given time period. While the fun that can ensue is great, the most important part of the exercise is debriefing as a class. Students can talk about what worked, what didn't work, and how they felt about the entire process. Groups that were successful get to share their ideas and groups that maybe weren't as successful get to talk about their pitfalls.
For this activity, groups were given an unlimited supply of newspaper and tape and were instructed to build a shelter big enough to completely cover one member of their group. The structure had to be completely self-standing (could not be taped to the floor, furniture, or held up by the person) and be completed in about 30 min. In the end, 3 groups were able to accomplish the task and 4 were not. As you can see, some just fell flat!

Unfortunately, Mr. Temple wasn't really thinking while shooting the videos so you will just have to get over the fact they are on their side: looks like it's time to upgrade to QuickTimePro.
