CONTENT OF THE TOPIC
A house is a building in which people live. It usually has several rooms which
serve different purposes. Examples of parts of a house are the bedrooms, the
living room, the kitchen, pantry, toilet, bathroom, study and corridors.
Types of houses
1. Primitive houses. Primitive houses are simple, and do not have modern
facilities that would make them comfortable. They are,however, habitable.
They include:
a) Caves. Sometimes, primitive people in rocky environments carve out houses
for themselves from the rocks.
b) Mud houses. Mud houses are found mainly in African countries and other
developing countries. Mud is the major building material. Often mud houses
have thatched roofs or zinc roofs. Mud houses can be durable if well built.
c) Huts. A hut is a small simple building with only one or two rooms. It is
usually built with mud or wood. Huts are usually found in rural communities.
d) House boats. In some riverine areas, where housing is scarce and expensive,
people live on house boats. Examples of places where house boats can be
found are China and Hong Kong.
e) Houses on stilts. In some riverine areas and places that get flooded often,
people raise their houses off the water on stilts. Such houses can be found in
parts of Balyesa, Rivers, and Delta States and in some parts of Lagos (on the
Lagoon). They can also be found in places like Papua New Guinea
andCambodia.
f) Tents. Usually, tents are made of thick cloth or animal hide supported with
poles and branches. Tents can be removed and taken to other locations. Some
nomadic tribes in North Africa and East Africa live in tents.
Building background connection to prior knowledge: pupils are familiar with the topic in their previous classes CONTENT OF THE TOPIC Modern House Modern houses are built using recent designs, recent materials and recent technology. They are far more attractive and comfortable than primitive houses. Modern houses can often be found in large towns and cities. They are built with cement and concrete. They have glass windows, refined wooden doors (as well as metal doors and gates). The toilets, bathrooms and kitchens are within the houses. Examples of modern houses include the: a) Bungalow
Getting More People To Own Houses
1 Parents and teachers should teach children to learn to save part of their
money regularly, so that over a period of time, they will have enough money
to acquire their own houses.
2 People should make an investigation on how to take advantage of the
different housing schemes which the government has set up.
3 Government should establish more housing schemes and operate them in
such a way that people can pay by installments over a period of time.
4 Government and non-governmental organizations should assist rural
dwellers to build simple houses.
5 Government should advertise its various housing schemes, so that more
people will know about them and take advantage of them.
6 Banks and mortgage institutions, that have favorable housing schemes,
should advertise their arrangements widely so that people can patronize them.
The conditions must not be so harsh as to discourage people from getting
loans from them.
7 Government should plan cities, towns and villages properly and provide
social amenities everywhere, so that people will find almost everywhere
desirable to live in. This will make houses cheaper than they are now in the
cities.
8 Government should ensure that those who manufacture and sell building
materials sell at affordable prices, so that more people can buy them.
9 Government should encourage the use of cheaper local building Material

CONTENT OF THE TOPIC
Values are those ideas which we, as members of society, have about what is
right and what is wrong. A society without values will be chaotic and
eventually get destroyed. Values keep a society decent, progressive, safe and
attractive. Generally, the values relevant to house construction are those
values which we must possess as members of society. They include:
1 Honesty
2 Cooperation
3 Self reliance
4 Unity
5 Tolerance
6 Love
7 Respect
8 Peace
9 Humility
10 Happiness
11 Freedom
12 Responsibility
13 Discipline
14 Hard work
15 Respect for quality, and accountability
1 Honesty (accountability, accuracy). Builders, property developers,
bricklayers, building materials merchants and all those involved in the
construction of houses, must be honest. They should use materials of high
quality.
2 Self reliance (hard work, skill and discipline). Nigeria has many qualified
people in the construction industry. Some of them are engineers, electricians,
bricklayers, builders, surveyors, architects and plumbers. They should work
hard and use their skills to construct good houses.
3 Cooperation and unity. At construction sites, all workers should cooperate
in order to construct good houses for the people.
4 Tolerance, love, respect and peace. When we love others, we would treat
them the way we want them to treat us. Builders and construction workers
should show love for the owner of the house by being honest in the way they
handle the construction of the house.
5 Happiness. Construction workers should do their work with joy. Also, those
in charge should keep the workers happy by paying them well and promptly
