| Title | Ideas for Practicing House Vocabulary |
| Body | An FLTEACH user recently asked for ideas for a unit on houses: rooms, furniture, different styles, etc. Here are some of the ideas submitted: --- I have my students create a two-part ideal house project... 1) They have to create a physical model of the house, whether it be a diorama, or a floor plan. And that has to be labeled with numbers for the rooms of the house, letters for the furniture and then a legend somewhere. 2) They have to write 3-4 sentences for each room of the house, telling me what people do in those rooms... Pamela. Re: House ideas. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 26 Mar 2007). --- I have my students to draw a layout of their room on poster board and then identify a certain number of items in the room. Since we study comparatives and superlatives (ex. My mirror is prettier than my sister's mirror) they then have to compare at least three items in the room with someone else's room in their house. They also have to say two superlatives such as (I have the biggest bed in the house). This all must be memorized and presented at one time. You can also give them a picture of a room with nothing in it and have them draw items in the room as you call them out and tell them their location such as (hay una mesita al lado de la cama). This works on direction words and room items at the same time. Barber, S. Re: House ideas.

Re: House ideas. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 26 Mar 2007). --- 1. Listening Activity: To learn the names of the rooms: I handout a simple blank floor plan. Each room has an item in it to identify it (for example a sofa in the living room, stove in the kitchen, etc...). Each student has 4 crayons (everyone has the same 4 colors). I tell them what color to "paint" each room in Spanish. 2. Realtor Hunt: I went online to a local realtor and found different kinds of houses for sale. Some were condos/townhomes, others were huge houses that cost millions. I left the listings in English just like they were on the website. Students work in pairs, one is the realtor and one is the buyer. The buyer is given a situation card. For example, Soy un hombre sin esposa. No necesito una casa grande. Me gusta cocinar. Tengo un carro magnÃfico, entonces necesito un garaje. I have several of these made up to match some of the listings. The buyer reads the description and the realtor has to find a house for him/her. The realtor has to orally tell why the house is right for them. Then I have them switch roles so each has an opportunity to be the realtor. Ireland, A. Re: House ideas.
