of a house or a flat they really like (both from the outside
and from the inside of the house or flat). They can look for
pictures in glossy magazines or on the Internet. In case
they decide to carry out this project work activity on paper,
they must bring a large piece of coloured paper, glue and
the pictures (cutouts from magazines or print-outs of
the pictures they found on the Internet). If they opt to
use technology, (See item 3 below), they can save in their
computers the pictures they found on the Internet.

or flat on a separate sheet of paper. In case they decide
to carry out this project work activity using technology,
(See item 3 below), they design their floor plans in Word
format and then convert them into a PDF document that
they can use when designing their collages using
a computer.

floor plans to make a collage. They can make it on
coloured paper or go to www.smilebox.com to design it.

4 Students write a short description of their dream


house on a separate sheet of paper.

5 Finally, students make an oral presentation of


their dream house to the class. They use their collages
to illustrate their talks and the short descriptions to
rehearse beforehand what they are going to say.
