How to start
Track 9.
Ask the students to listen to the song and to
sing along.
Talk to the class about different places to live. Ask them to
look out the window of the classroom or to imagine their
neighbourhood. Can they think of different types of places
where people live?
Use your hands to show that flats usually have more than
two floors and sometimes have a lift.
Ask students to think about the differences between flats
and houses. For example, flats are small and houses are big.
Houses usually have a garden and flats don’t. Say,
are there
more flats in the city or in the countryside?
See if they can
think of reasons why.
Teaching tip
Some students might use L1 to share some of their ideas.
Encourage the use of English through positive reinforcement
and by recasting their answers and ideas in English.
Activities: step-by-step guide
Activity 1
Draw a house and a block flats on the board and say,
This
is a house, this is a block of flats.
Elicit differences. Tell the
students to look at the pictures. Explain that houses and
flats or apartments are two types of homes.
Tell students to look at the four photos, to read and to circle
the correct word. When they have finished circling the word,
they can check answers with a partner. Check answers with
the whole class.
Activity 2
Ask the students to look at the pictures, colour the house
and block of flats, and trace the words. When they finish,
they write the word ‘flat’ or ‘house’ to complete the
sentences.
Play a game. Describe one of the homes in the photos. Give
the class three clues. For example,
I can see a home with
lots of windows. It is white. It’s a house.
When they have
the answer they should put their hands up and point to the
correct answer. Then they can try describing one of the
homes.
Ask them which home is the most similar to theirs. Which
one do they like best and why. What is their favourite thing
about their home?
Point out that not everybody lives in homes like these.
Remind students that there are different types of homes.
Ask the students if they can think of any other types of
homes.
Read the sentence at the bottom of the page.
Extra ideas!
Do a class survey about front doors. Ask the children to
think of their front door. Create a colourful chart to compile
the information.
Revision
Ask the students to draw their own home or the home of
one of their family members. When they are finished, they
can describe their picture to a partner.
