Have you ever wanted to design your dream house? What kind of house would it be? Would it be a large house, or small and cosy? Would you like to land a helicopter on the roof? In this activity, you'll learn a few things about architecture and the words architects use. You will then design your house. What do you want your house to look like?

First, draw a detailed picture of the house you live in with your parents, sisters, brothers, or your grandparents. How tall is it? How many floors? Where are the doors and windows? Is your made of brick, wood, or something else? Think of these things before you finish your drawing. When you finish your first drawing, think about what kind of drawing it is. Is it a sketch?
