What can we use if we don't have sticky notes, glue, or an editing app?

If you don't have sticky notes, fold small squares of plain paper for your three interview questions, use clear tape or a glue stick to attach and color the picture on your newspaper page, and edit or trim video using your phone's built‑in gallery editor if you can't access a separate editing app.

What should we do if the person refuses the interview or the adult can't be present?

If the person won't be interviewed or an adult can't attend, choose another person connected to your story or reschedule for when an adult can be present, and meanwhile write your short article paragraph or video intro and practice the three sticky‑note questions so you're ready.

How can we adapt this activity for younger or older kids?

For younger kids, have an adult help ask the interview questions, write the article, and help sketch and color the newspaper page, while older kids can research extra facts, create a detailed shot list, record multiple interviews, and use an editing app to add titles and trim clips.

How can we make the newspaper or video more interesting or personal?

Extend your project by designing a catchy newspaper masthead and reporter bio, adding extra photos or a fact box to the page, or for video include a title card, captions and background music before sharing the finished piece on DIY.org.
