In this interactive activity, you will examine a series of pictures featuring various types of shelters. Your task is to carefully observe the characteristics of each shelter and choose the answer you believe is most appropriate. You will encounter prompts and feedback, including hints to guide you as you learn to distinguish between vaulted huts, sleeping platforms, shade houses, and more. If you finish early, partner up and challenge each other by drawing a shelter for the other to identify, focusing on details that make each shelter unique.
E N D
Your Task On each slide there will be a picture and optional answers. Look at the picture carefully, examining the characteristics and choose the answer you think is most suitable.
` a) Vaulted hut b) Sleeping platform c) Rain Shelter d) Lean-to
Spot on! A vaulted hut is positioned on the ground and has a rounded roof. You may have used the fire near the entrance as a clue. Great job looking at the characteristics!
a) Flat roofed house b) Sleeping platform c) Lean-to shelter d) Shade house
Oops, try again.This is a tricky one because yes, it does have a flat roof but look at some other characteristics.
You got it! A sleeping platform can have a flat roof or a peaked roof so this one was a little bit tricky but the hut was lifted off the ground, offering a great spot for the smouldering fire.
a) Rain shelter b) Peak-roofed house c) Shade house d) Lean-to shelter
Great job! It wasn’t a peak-roofed house because it did not have walls coming to the roof. It is a basic shelter on the ground which means it has to be a shade house.
Fast Finishers If you have completed all of the activities, find a partner in the room who also has and try drawing a humpy for them to guess. Remember to put in detail, it is the detail that helps people to know what sort of humpy it is.
