zWith books closed, discuss the question with the class: How much space do you think you need to live comfortably? Encourage students to be specific in their answers, giving examples of places they could live comfortably. Have students open their books and look at the picture of the tiny house. Ask: Could you live in this house? Have students do the Before Reading Task. Check answers as a class. ;)) Play the audio for the article. Have students listen and read along in their books.
READING STRATEGY Scanning for specific information zExplain to students that it is sometimes necessary to look for specific facts in an article without rereading the whole thing. To do this you run your eyes quickly over the page, looking for specific words or phrases that will probably lead to the information you need. zHave students scan the article for the answers to the following questions. They should focus on looking for the underlined words and expressions in the questions. What is the name of the founder of the company that builds tiny homes in the U.S.? (Jay Shafer) What are compact houses called in Japan? (kyosho-jutaku) What is the name of the Japanese architect who builds the houses? (Satoshi Kurosaki) In what Japanese city are the homes especially popular? (Tokyo) Where would you find an m-ch, or micro-compact, home? (Europe) Compare the tiny house in the U.S. with homes in Japan and Europe. Which one is the largest in square meters? Which is the smallest? (The European m-ch home is the smallest with an area of about 7 square meters. The Japanese compact home is the largest with 23 square meters.) How many people live in the m-ch home described in the article? (two)
zFor additional vocabulary practice, have students look at the words from Vocabulary Building on page 7. Have them find and underline the words in the article. zDiscuss what each word means in the context of the article.
maintain (paragraph 3) Ask: What’s the difference between constructing a home and maintaining a home? (Constructing is building the home. Maintaining it is keeping it in good condition.)
minimal (paragraph 3) Ask: What is minimal in the article? (the cost of heating and cooling) What does this mean? (that it costs very little)
downsize (paragraph 2) Ask: What does it mean to downsize your home? (to move to a smaller house)
claustrophobic (paragraph 2) Ask: How do people feel in a claustrophobic space? (nervous, afraid, and confined) Does Jay Shafer think that tiny homes are claustrophobic? (no) Do you agree?
nurturing (paragraph 2) Ask: Is it a positive or negative statement to say that a home is nurturing? (It is positive because it implies that the home “cares” for you in some way.) Point out that the word nurture often refers to the care parents give their children, feeding them, caring for them, and educating them.
amenities (paragraph 4) Ask: What are some examples of the amenities of city life? (being close to transportation, stores, theaters, workplaces, etc.)

After Reading
zHave students work individually to mark the sentences true or false. Then have them compare answers with a partner. If their answers are diff erent, they should discuss and decide which is correct. zCheck answers and discuss the statements with the class. To extend the discussion, ask additional questions about each statement. For example: 1. Would Shafer prefer to live in a larger home if he could aff ord it? Why or why not? (No, he says a bigger home would be too large. Also, he doesn’t like vacuuming.) 2. What are some of the things that cost a lot of money when maintaining a home? (heating, cooling, fi xing things, gardening, etc.) 3. Why do you think that younger people are the most interested in the smaller homes? (They prefer living near the center of cities and this is a way they can aff ord it.) 4. Why are Tokyo’s land prices among the most expensive in the world? (The population is growing and everyone wants to live there.) 5. What ideas do you think the m-ch homes got from fi rst-class airplane cabins? (built-in beds and compartments; the use of space)
