ISP#4

The day started off by rebuilding the igloo but it was depressing at first because someone had pushed down some of the snow blocks...
But there was also a good fact that the blocks bonded together because of the snow from yesterday.
Mr.Yowng suggested the strategy of building the igloo with thinner and wider blocks so that the bottom would not have to carry much weight. It was also a good idea because the blocks stayed together by the weight of the one next to it and balanced each other.
When I was rebuiding the igloo, I thought of the people who actually build igloos as their homes. We, for example, live in houses build with wood or bricks which are very hard and stable but Eskimos live in igloos build with snow blocks and no other things. No wires or nails. But they work out fine, they don't collaps. So I thought they must have a really important technique to build a good igoo because all our ISP group worked to build one igloo for 2days but we couldn't even finish it. I bet everybody would admit that they compromised with some parts but still, we tried hard but couldn't complete it. I was sad. I also think Eskimos teach the way they build igloos, one generation to another, very carfully and accuratly and that it is a tradition and they practice a lot.
Although we didn't finish the igloo, I was glad to try it and experience how hard it is to build one and learn how important snow can be to some people.
