• Make a list of all the things you need to have and do to take care of a pet.  Where can you get what you need?  How can you learn what you don't know?
• Is there an advice column for kids in your local newspaper or favorite magazine.  Read the questions and answers given.  Talk about why the answers are good ones.  Which ones might you answer differently?  How?
• Start a class or club advice column.  Set up a box where everyone can drop questions.  Choose one or a panel of three to answer the questions.  Take turns so that everyone can have a chance to give advice.
