La Maison de mes Rêves / My Dream House:   Create  your dream house and label each room in French
 Give your house a name in French, like “chez Jerome” of “Le Paradis”
 Prepare a presentation / sales pitch about your house in French
Work Days on dream house and sales pitch:
Sales / Purchase Days:

One half of the class will be salespeople and give their sales pitch to the potential
buyers from the other half of the class. The sales period will last approximately 15
minutes. Customers will look at the homes for sale, listen to the sales pitches and ask questions they have, in French, of course! Customers will choose one house they wish to purchase. They will write the name of the home and its architect on a ballot and turn it in. Any house purchased will earn 3 extra points for the architect who designed it. 
Then salespeople and customers will switch roles, and the sales process will take place once again. Customers will receive a ballot to purchase the one house of their dreams.

Grading:
Complete house plan with rooms labeled in French + sales pitch in French: 36 points.

Sales pitch and conversations w/customers people in French: 24 points
