The Igloo: does and don'ts.

After all three groups were unsucsessful in creating a complete igloo, the teachers decided it would be best if we blog on the qualities that were put into our igloos, and the qualities that should have been there. For the personal aspect of what our group could have done better as a whole was to actually work. I remember for most of the day there were atleast two to three people gone at a time, that wouldn't come back for hours. This is probably why ours never got finnished, and why people started to take our blocks. As for the other groups, they were making it so that the igloo was oriented upwards, not slanted. As the walls stacked, they did not focus on the aspect of slanting, and the use of distributeable pressure to make the igloo lean in. Both of those factors were not being applicated in either of the two igloos. I feel, had my group pulled it together, we would have had a sucsessful igloo, as I remember specifically the amount we all stressed in the importances in the angle of the igloo. Although no one completed an igloo, I feel as though our class could have done it, but some of the time provided was not put to its full potential, and I feel as though that was the downfall of the project.
