The document provides instructions for an art project where students will research architectural styles of homes around the world and create a model of a home from a country of their choosing. Students will read a story to learn about different architectural styles, research a country's typical home structures, then build and decorate a model home from construction paper while also writing a short explanation of their project. The activity aims to teach students about how people's living situations differ globally and have them consider how geography influences housing designs.
