Mi Casa Ideal-Proyecto en grupo
Tú eres arquitecto. Quieres construir tu casa ideal. No hay problema con dinero; eres rico.
1). Draw or design a floor plan. Label the rooms (10 total from your vocab.list) with their correct Spanish names. Make it as elaborate or as simple as you want. If it has more than one story, make sure to label all floors and design a diagram for each floor.
You are building your dream home! You will design a home with at least 10 labeled rooms in different formats. You can build a diorama, draw it on poster board, or make a mobile 3-D house. You will have to include the picture of 4 different pieces of furniture or objects found in each room. You will have to write 8 sentences in Spanish describing each room of your dream house. Do not use a translation site like Google Translate. I will take 15 points off the project if you use a translation site.
