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!

What to aim for: 

Eleven kan välja texter och talat språk från olika medier samt på ett relevant och effektivt sätt använda det valda materialet i sin egen produktion och interaktion.

I muntliga och skriftliga framställningar i olika genrer kan eleven formulera sig relativt varierat, tydligt och sammanhängande. Eleven formulerar sig även med flyt och viss anpassning till syfte, mottagare och situation. För att förtydliga och variera sin kommunikation kan eleven bearbeta och göra välgrundade förbättringar av egna framställningar. 

Eleven diskuterar utförligt och nyanserat några företeelser i olika sammanhang och områden där engelska används och kan då också göra välutvecklade och nyanserade jämförelser med egna erfarenheter och kunskaper.
