plan for the second floor (sheet 2) for the dream house.
Day 3:
o
o
Day 4:
o
Students will then find the area and perimeter of each room of their houses.
Using a scale, students will then find the actual area and perimeter of their house, if it
were to be built, by completing Worksheet #3, which will be turned in with the final
project.
Students will be searching on sites like Home Depot, Lowes, etc. to find what kind of
carpet, hardwood flooring, and paint they want to use in their houses.
Days 5 and 6:
o
Students will calculate how much carpet, flooring, and paint they will need in specific
rooms. Then, they will calculate the cost of purchasing these items for their house.
Students will also search to see how much installation costs and include that in their
amount spent.
Day 7:
o
Students will complete the writing portion of this project, using a worksheet as a guide.
Day 10:
o
Students will be browsing the web to pick out their furniture they want in the rooms of
their houses. They will be calculating these items in with their price for the flooring and
paint, as well as installation costs again.
As a challenge, students will draw the furniture to scale in each room in order to see
how it fits.
Days 8 and 9:
o
Students will share/switch worksheets with at least 3 other peers and complete the first
discussion post in itslearning, in order to provide and apply meaningful feedback,
regarding the calculations and measurements of the house.
Students will create their pages in itslearning, where they will include:
At least one screenshot of their online house blueprint
Summary about their house
Hi-lighting their favorites
A list of what they change or do differently
Students will participate in the second discussion, providing and applying meaningful
feedback to one another, in order to improve upon their projects.
If you had to do this project over again, what would you do differently and
why?
Anything interesting you want to share about your project?
Day 17:
o
o
Our guest speakers will return, and, with the students, they will vote on their favorite
houses in their class.
Awards will be given to the Most Accurately Designed and Calculated House and Most
Creative House
Product:
The students will create an online, fully designed dream house that they envision. Because they
get to make the house their own, students will care and be invested in the project. Furthermore,
this gives them an idea of the cost to building and designing a home. Through the use of
homestyler.com, a variety of home designing apps on our schools iPads, and itslearning,
technology will be integrated to create the final product. Students will be graded based on the
criteria provided to them via a rubric (see at bottom).
Technology Use:
Students will use either the website, homestyler.com, or a home designing app, such as Home
Design 3D or Home Design Story, to create their house blueprint. Any of these can be accessed via
iPads, laptops and desktops, and/or students own devices. Additionally, students will use
itslearning to create their page/presentation and participate in discussions about one anothers
projects, providing and accepting meaningful feedback. This helps to promote interaction with one
another, as well as make the project more generative, authentic, and individualized for each
student.
