What can we use instead of a notebook, table, or colored pencils if those are hard to find?
If you don't have a notebook or colored pencils for writing your interview notes and coloring the pamphlet, use loose paper or a printable template and color with crayons or markers on a clipboard or your lap instead of a table.
What should we do if we can't find or schedule two pet owners or if the interviews feel difficult?
If you can't schedule two pet owners or feel nervous during the interviews, ask a parent to contact a local vet or shelter for introductions, do one short video/phone interview, practice your six questions beforehand, and take bullet-point notes to ensure you can later write clear notes in your notebook.
How can the activity be adjusted for different ages or skill levels?
For ages 5–7, ask three simple questions and draw the answers in the notebook; for ages 8–11, stick to the six questions and sketch the pamphlet with bold pictures; and for 12+ add a quick online fact-check after both interviews and create a digital pamphlet to post on DIY.org.
How can we make the pamphlet more informative or personal after finishing the three section summaries?
To enhance your Feeding, Grooming, and Exercise sections, add small photos or direct quotes from the pet owners, ask a vet to review the three common tips for safety, and laminate or fold your colored layout before sharing it on DIY.org.
