Note to the teacher:
To help practice new vocabulary, students can use a spreadsheet to make a chart of housing-related words. For this two-part activity, you can ask your students to work in pairs, brainstorming categories that have to do with housing. Then, you can instruct students on how to enter words under each heading. Before closing their files, students will want to look at each other’s work for more ideas. Direct students to their spreadsheets during the next class period to revise and add to their lists before guiding them through the spell-check and the printing process.
