X Have students work in groups to research other kinds of homes that various cultures use or have
used around the world. Have students discuss what groups of people made and used these homes,
what they were/are made of, and the purpose of building such a home. Have groups present their
findings to the class.
X Have students design their dream home. Students could create three-dimensional homes out of
cardboard boxes and rolls from paper towels and toilet paper rolls. Then students can cover their
structures with paper maché made from dipping newspaper strips into a mixture of flour and
water. Then have students paint their projects and present them to the class.
X Read a version of Los tres cerditos (The Three Little Pigs). Have students discuss the different homes
built in the story and the different materials that were used to build each one. Hold a discussion as
to which material worked the best to protect the pigs from the wolf and why.
Have students bring in a picture of their home or
draw a picture of their home to describe. Have them use the list of antonyms and synonyms created
in the Vocabulary Development section, as well as vocabulary words and information from the book,
to write a description of their home. Help students complete this activity by having them write words,
phrases, or complete sentences, according to their proficiency level. You may wish to provide students
with sentence starters and vocabulary flashcards as they complete this activity.
