Solving Challenges Inside the Box????

Today the students will be exercising their creative talents.  They will be completing the Paper Airplane Challenge in class.  The students will be creating a Paper Airplane that will only fly 10 feet and landing inside of a 2ft x 2ft box.

They will be given the following supplies:

1 Sheet of Printing Paper
12 inches of Tape
12 inches of String
3 paper clips

They will have 10 minutes to plan and then they will be given 5 minutes to build.

But first they need to understand the baseline teaching theory behind what we will be doing.

7th Grade Avid - Creative Lab Friday

Today we are laying the ground work for Philosophical Chairs.  In their table groups they will be watching the following group rules and creating a Group Set of Philosphical Chair Rules.




After the students have created a quick group list of rules we will share, discuss, and create a classroom set of rules for Philosophical Chairs.  We will be doing our first Philosophical Chair on Monday!

Lastly, we will be doing our first Creative Lab Session.  During this session the students will be given a prompt, have 10 minutes to create, write, draw, plan, etc....  Then we will come to the circle and Share.

Should be a productive day!
