Products
Animal Rescue Interview Notes and Personal Donation-Message Draft
Each student completes a one-page user research artifact from the volunteer visit and media sources, then writes a short donation message or mini-poster draft that shows what they learned about shelter animals’ needs. This proves individual understanding and turns evidence into a simple design idea for the class drive.
Classroom Blanket Drive Gallery Walk Display with Problem Statement and Donation Plan
Student teams create a shared problem statement, a refined donation plan, and a higher-fidelity display with collection boxes, posters, captions, and a short presentation for families and the rescue volunteer. The final team product shows how individual research shaped the group’s solution and how the class’s kindness actions meet real animal needs.
