Let's start this lesson listening to C'est Bizarre!!!
{My name is Zeleste, I am an alien.
I came to planet Earth with my friend Celeste.
We came at full speed, it's the first time we're in your solar system!
Refrain:
We do not understand anything about this Earth,everyone is totally crazy!
You do things backwards, it's so different from us!
It's bizarre...it's bizarre...it's bizarre!
The things you eat, they make us laugh!
It's not really food, instant meals as well as ice cream,
we would throw them in the garbage bags!
Refrain
And how you travel, you are always in a hurry.
But you always arrive late!
You just pollute, how can you breathe?
We know why you are fed-up!
Refrain}

What do you think life is like in another planet? Make a drawing of one aspect of life on another planet and bring it for our next class!
For us to be able to design a house, we need to first think like an architect.
To start, get a piece of blank paper.
Look at an object around the room; it can be a chair, a table, an apple or anything you choose.

Pliez votre feuille de papier en deux.
Dessine l'objet vu de l'avant sur une moitié. Dessine l'objet vu de haut sur l'autre moitié. {Fold your piece of paper in two. Draw the object seen from the front on one half. Draw the object seen from above on the other half.} |

Est-ce que les deux dessins sont differents?
{Are the two drawings different?}

Planning like an architect
Regardez les plans aux pages 4 et 5 de votre livre (image ci-dessus). Il y a le plan d'un appartement et le plan d'une maison. {Look at the plans on pages 4 and 5 of your book (image above). They are a plan for an appartment and a plan for a house.}
What do you notice?
How many rooms can you see? On an architect's plan, all rooms are seen from above.
Regardez le rez-de-chaussee, le premier etage et le sous-sol. {Notice the ground floor, the first floor and the basement.}
Also, notice the legend, which states that every square equals one square metre.

Now, using the image above, let's complete page 6 on the workbook.
Les cases indiquent les dimensions de chaque pièce. Chaque case égale un mètre carré. {The boxes indicate the dimensions of each room. Each box equals one square metre.}
Identify each room, count the number of squares for that particular room and note that number on the chart. That number you found is actually the dimension of that room in square metres.
Completez chaque section. {Complete each section.}
For instance, if I count how many squares are on the house's bathroom, I see 10 squares; so, I will add "bathroom" to the first line on my Piece column, and add "10" to my dimension column.
