Compelling Question	What does a house have to do with the culture of a people?
Standards and Practices	Foreign Language Culture Standards 2.2.3 Discuss the relevance of tangible products (i.e. realia) of the culture (e.g., dress, types of dwellings, and foods). Foreign Language Culture Standards 2.2.5 Evaluate the contributions that the target language and culture make to our society and the world (e.g., medicine, technology, arts, family traditions). Foreign Language Culture Standards 2.2.6 Discuss dominant objects, images, and symbols of the target culture (e.g., flags, currency, architectural style). S.S. ND.6_12.1.2 Explain the human settlement patterns in North Dakota. S.S. US.6_12.1-6.E5.2 Explain the social, cultural, and economic impact of changes as a result of technology.
Staging the Question	How can houses identity with the people that live in them?
