| Title | House and Home |
| Body | Here are some suggestions recently posted to various listservs for teaching a unit on housing. Although most of these came from teachers of English to young learners, they may give you some new ideas for your foreign language class as well. Arlington Public School: ESL Curriculum for Adults, Housing http://www.arlington.k12.va.us/instruct/ctae/adult_ed/REEP/ reepcurriculum/housing200&250.html http://www.arlington.k12.va.us/instruct/ctae/adult_ed/REEP/ reepcurriculum/housing100&150.html Marcopolo search results: house and home http://www.marcopolosearch.org/MPSearch/Search_Results.asp?orgn_id=2&log_type=1&hdnFilter=&hdnPerPage=15&txtSearchFor=house+and+home&selUsing=all Demeures de France: Outstanding Real Estate in France http://www.demeures.com/titre_en.htm ---- The Oxford Picture Dictionary has a nice section on homes, rooms, chores, furniture,etc. After these words were covered in class, I had them design a floor plan of their dream house on large paper and label rooms. Later, the sales inserts/flyers from the Sunday paper were used by them to "furnish" the house. They cut and glued the pictures, later labelling them. Then, they wrote paragraphs about their dream homes. As they worked ( took several days ) I would walk around and make them talk about these homes. I typed expectations and point values for them to understand exactly what I wanted. It went well and they enjoyed it. Sams, D. Re: house and home unit.
