Draw & Explore Social Studies: Homes Around the World

The Draw and Explore Social Studies series is a great way to combine art and social studies. A short description of ten different types of homes from around the world is given. Each is followed by an image of the home on a grid. Next, students can do one or all of the assignments that follow. They can draw half of the image in a grid that shows the left half of the picture, half of the image in a grid that shows the right half of the picture, or the entire image on an empty grid. This makes the unit completely flexible for both left-handed and right-handed students. Ten review questions and an answer key are also included. Types of homes included are the chickee (Seminole), Dutch floating home, tukul (Ethiopia), goahti (Sami), izba (Russia), Lake Titicaca reed house (Uru), pueblo, Tudor (English), Viking longhouse, and yurt (Mongol). 31 pages total.
