Introduction: Begin the lesson by showing pictures of traditional and modern houses to the students. Ask them to discuss with a partner what they notice about each type of house. Lead a class discussion on the differences they observe.

Main Part: 1. English: Read a short story about a family living in a traditional house. Discuss the setting and how it differs from modern houses. 2.

Plenary: Review the key differences between traditional and modern houses. Ask students to share one thing they learned during the lesson.

Differentiation: - Provide visual aids for visual learners. - Offer additional support for students who may struggle with the concept of comparing and contrasting. - Allow students to work in pairs or small groups for collaborative learning.

Assessment Strategies: - Observe students during the role-playing activity to assess their understanding of traditional houses. - Review students’ Venn diagrams to see if they accurately compared and contrasted traditional and modern houses. - Have students write a short paragraph explaining why it is important to preserve traditional architecture.

Higher Order Thinking Questions: 1. Why do you think some communities choose to build traditional houses instead of modern ones? (Evaluating) 2. How might the design of a house reflect the values and beliefs of the people who live in it? (Analyzing)
