I hope you all had an eventful weekend. Today we looked at the basics of housing vocabulary. The goal for this week is to be able to understand issues about housing, specifically finding housing.
We started by talking about the words:
Urban (city) Suburban (outside city) Rural (countryside)
We listed as many adjectives as we could about each of them. You guys used some great words.
We talked about these three words because most housing is found in one of these three places. The next thing we looked at were the rooms in a house. We used this worksheet to label the names of the rooms of the house and talk about materials used to build a house. Remember materials are the base ingredients of something. Floors are not a material. Floors are made of wood. Wood is a material.
After we discussed the rooms of the house, we had a little project. You drew a picture of your house and showed the class while describing the rooms and what they are made of. It was a great chance to see the different places that we all live.
Main Learning Point
You should know the names of the major rooms of a house. You should be know a few adjectives to describe where a house a located. You should also be able to describe your current living situation and describe what you want in a new house.
