Help!?
What can we use if we don't have sticky notes, a ruler, or markers listed in the materials?
Use scrap paper taped in place instead of sticky notes, the straight edge of a book as your pencil-and-ruler for the layout step, and crayons or colored pencils to complete the coloring materials step.
What should we do if the traced lines smudge or the drawing doesn't look clear after tracing over the pencil?
If your pen or marker smudges when you trace over your pencil drawing, slide a scrap sheet under the poster, use a fine-tip pen or allow the ink to dry fully before erasing pencil lines so the traced picture stays neat.
How can this activity be adapted for younger children or older students?
For younger kids, simplify by choosing one fact, doing a large easy drawing, and helping with the pencil-and-ruler sketch, while older students can expand the 'look up three facts' step to include sources, a detailed map, and longer practice of their presentation before sharing on DIY.org.
How can we extend or personalize the poster beyond the basic instructions?
Enhance your poster by attaching a small cheese sample or photo next to the big centered drawing, adding extra fun facts or a QR code linking to your sources, and decorating the borders to make it presentation-ready for DIY.org.
