Procedure:Pair up students (wherever possible, students who don't share L1) Give each pair a Dreamhouse worksheet and a blank piece of paper. Each pair has 15-20 minutes to draw a blueprint of their dreamhouse. They should try to make it as detailed as possible. Each pair presents their dreamhouse to the class, explaining how many rooms, the type of rooms, furniture, special features, etc. Give each pair 5 minutes to make their presentation.
Variations:Assign activity as homework, students give an in-class presentation the following day. Students choose one room and cut out pictures from magazines to decorate it. Then they give an in-class presentation explaining why they chose what they did. Make up your own variation!
