CLASS ACTIVITY….

1.)Have a pre and post quiz. The idea here is the same
questions both times but to see if my project offered enough
humane education to see whether or not they change their
answer.
Example Question: Is it ok to leave a dog chained up outside
all day ?

2.) Have my contact come in and talk/share stories. Possibly

bring in a rescued cat

3.)Have a bunch of pictures of animals. Some rescued from

spay and save some peoples own pets. See if the students
are able to identify which ones were neglected and which
were treated well. After they guess show whether or not
they were right. This will open awareness about how rescue
efforts can help and how big a problem it is.
