Welcome, young explorers! Today, we are going to embark on an exciting time travel adventure to discover how homes have changed from the past to the present. Imagine if you could step into a time machine and visit different eras—what would the houses look like? How would people live?
To kick things off, let’s play a guessing game! I’m going to give you clues about a type of house from the past, and you have to guess what it is. Are you ready? Here we go:
Clue 1: This type of house is made of logs and is commonly found in forests or near rivers. It is simple but sturdy.
(Wait for students to guess—Answer: Log Cabin)
Clue 2: This house often features a thatched roof made from straw or reeds. It's commonly found in rural areas, especially in Europe.
(Wait for students to guess—Answer: Cottage)
Clue 3: This modern dwelling is tall and can have multiple floors. It’s often found in big cities and is made of concrete and glass.
(Wait for students to guess—Answer: Apartment or Skyscraper)
Great job, everyone! Now that we’ve set the stage with our guessing game, we can dive deeper into our main topic: The differences between past sites and modern housing.
We'll explore the different materials, styles, and technologies used in housing, comparing cozy cabins and charming cottages to sleek skyscrapers and sustainable homes.
As we begin this lesson, I want you to keep your imaginations active. Think about what it would be like to live in each of these homes. What would you find inside? How would it feel to wake up in a log cabin in the woods versus a modern apartment with a view of the city?
Are you ready to discover the fascinating world of housing? Let’s start our exploration!
