A little different kind of homework for Tuesday, November 5:
Be able to describe your house in detail (or it could be a house or a building you are very familiar with).
Make sure your audience is fully informed: Who? What`? Where? When? Why? How? How many? How much? How long? How big? What kind of?
Be able to discuss the history, the construction, the materials, the systems that are used in it.
Talk to your parents to find out some of the cool things you never knew!
You might look at the first couple of pages of "Revolutions on the Housing Market" in Best Shots 3 (16-19) for ideas.
