HouseQuest

For this activity, you need to make a sketch of your house. Your job will be to create a description that will suit your house.

Style

Can you see what style your house is? There are many varieties, so your house may look similar to the ones pictured, but not necessarily exactly like them.

Roof

Can you see what shape your roof is?

Bricks

Does your house have bricks? Can you tell in what pattern these bricks are laid?

Windows

Can you see any special types of windows on your house?

Don't forget!

Add in descriptions like colors, textures, and details to finish describing your house. You may want to add more to your sketch to show everything that you see on your house.

Want to share?

We would love to see your house picture and description. If you would like to send it to us, please email for information or mail your work to:

Mr. Bruce R. Schulman
