Unit: Mi Casa es su Casa
Buscamos un casa (30 points)
Me llamo __________________
Search on the Internet to find real homes for sale in Rowan County Kentucky. Choose three different homes for
sale that would be appropriate for you and your family. Write an ad in Spanish for each of three houses. For each
house include the following:
(1) Include a foto of the house. (black and white print is fine)
(2) Write a paragraph to describe the house in Spanish with as much detail as possible: (size, color, materials-wood,
brick, etc, how many rooms, bedrooms, one, two or three floors, basement, attic, yard, fence, location-in the
woods, in town, in the country.) Use verbs like es (is or is like), está (is located), tiene (it has), hay (there is/there
are). Do not use a computer translator to write the sentences. Use your vocabulary list.
(3) List the cost of the house in Spanish words as well as numbers. If you do not remember how to express the big
numbers in Spanish you should review them on your teacher’s webpage or on one of the many Spanish number
sites on the Internet.
Note: If you do not have any access to the Internet at home or cannot arrange to work in the library at school or at the Rowan
County Library please see your teacher for an alternate source of information for your assignment.
