I would love to know more about the materials used to create the pictures.

I could spend hours looking at this book. The illustrations are more the collage photographs and makes it so intriguing and appealing. The information that is provided is concise, but detailed enough that it has you looking in the pictures for every little detail.

#NewHogwartsAdventure Day 3: #Houses Of the World feature 16 different types of home, yet somehow I felt like I traveled the world a bit just by feasting my eyes on various houses – from a palace with a drawbridge and a moat in La Brede, France – to humble cave dwellings in Andalucia, Spain.

If You Lived Here: Houses of the World is a non-fiction picture book written and illustrated by Giles Laroche. This book can be used for RA and IR. If You Lived here showcases fifteen different houses from different eras and cultures that are still in existence today. The houses are detailed with information such as house type, materials, location, date, and a fascinating fact. #ucflae3414f17

elifkelly Because the illustrations in the book are cut-paper, having students create their own cut-paper houses would help them to make personal connections with the story through their work. This book discusses concepts such as geometry and scientific models, which would be perfect for a science and math infused ELA lesson. http://littlebits.cc/lessons/hack-my-house-workshop 6y
elifkelly EL 39 have students prepare collections of science objects aligns with the cut-houses. UDL 5.2 Use multiple tools for construction and composition supports the craft activity. 6y
