Help!?
What can we use if we don't have the exact materials listed like paper, pencil, eraser, or colouring materials?
If you don't have the supplies in 'lay out your paper pencil eraser and colouring materials,' use printer or notebook paper and a pen or marker for writing, crayons or washable paint instead of coloured pencils, a kneaded eraser or a scrap of white vinyl eraser for corrections, or draw and colour on a tablet or phone app with a stylus.
I'm stuck turning my three short sentences into paragraphs or drawing the three sketches—what should I try?
If you get stuck on 'turn each short sentence into a short paragraph' or on the three small sketches, expand each sentence by answering 'Who? What happened? How did it end?' and sketch simple shapes (circles and ovals) for characters and backgrounds to make drawing faster.
How can I change the activity for different ages so it's not too easy or too hard?
For ages 4–6, have an adult write down their dictated beginning/middle/end sentences and let them colour the three sketches and add stickers; for ages 7–10, have them write the three short sentences themselves, expand them into paragraphs and add dialogue; for 11+ encourage adding extra characters, a more complex problem to solve, and background research about the chosen space setting.
What are some ways to make the Pokémon space story more special or shareable?
To enhance the project, turn your three sketches into a mini-comic with speech bubbles for the added dialogue, decorate the front page with a big title and your name using glitter or washi tape, record a short narration of the story, and then take a photo or upload the finished Pokémon story to DIY.org to share.
