There are two options for presenting:

Build your dream house

 During a few weeks you are going to build a house with the help of home.by.me 

I want you to build either your own home or your dream house. I want you to at least have these rooms: 

· Kitchen 

· Hall 

· Living room 

· Toilet/Bathroom 

· Bedroom 

Log in with your school’s google account. Start to build! 

Think about: 

· Plan your house – what rooms do you want, except the ones that I have written? 

· Learn the words – you can search for furniture in the program. 

· Details – flowers, colour, cars, carpets etc. 

Finished building? 

Choose either of these assignments: 

1. Write a text where you explain your house – the rooms, the furniture, some colours etc. 

2. Prepare an oral presentation of your house. Show it and tell us what we get to see. 

Good luck!
