Lesson Plans and Course Ideas with Workbook
Lesson Plans
Virtually every subject in the high school setting can be put in the
context of the home building process. There is math in designing,
constructing, selling and buying a home. Scientific principles are
critical to the architect, the landscaper and the painter. History,
ecology, communication, graphic design, computer design and basic
skills such as problem-solving and critical thinking all have a
connection to home building. The activities and exercises in the
lesson plans were developed by educators and are provided as idea
starters and examples of ways you can introduce home building topics.
Course Ideas
This course gives students a more extensive understanding of the
relationship between academics and the world of work as it relates to
the residential construction industry. The course is designed to give
students a knowledge base about the residential construction industry
and an awareness of industry related job and career opportunities.
Students are able to connect what they are learning in the classroom
to the world of work by aligning academic instruction with real-life
industry experiences. The course includes a hands-on building
project. Best of all, it’s not “extra work.” The format is easily
adaptable to fit your current curriculum. A workbook is included to
assist with planning.
