Shabanews

For the project Shabanews, Kate, Emily and I chose our theme to be real estate. We based our video and writing piece on the the TV show, House Hunters. We each chose a picture of a Pakistani house and wrote a brief description of each home, I wrote about house number two Emily wrote House number one, and Kate wrote house number three. Once we finished writing our descriptions, we decorated the learning lab to fit our descriptions for the video. In the video we listed the price and video taped each home. When we finished showing the homes, Phulan and Murad choose their home, it was house number three! This project was really fun for me because we got to make really fun videos and I enjoyed talking about the house that we designed. This project was more on the easy side for me because I had a lot of fun doing this project and I didn’t have any difficulties with it. 

This is the writing piece we wrote:

We are Adham, Shamam, and Siad, the Manzil brothers! We are looking for a beautiful new home for a beautiful young couple, handsome Murad and stunning Phulan in Pakistan. Here are Phulan’s requirements:

• Close to the toba
• Has a spot to pray
• A big kitchen, where I can cook my paan
• At least an hour away from my family so I can visit them

These are Murad’s requirements:

• Extra land to tend the camels
• The home should be close to a trading spot
• Far away from civilization so I can relax in peace with my wife!

Here are the three houses we have expertly chosen to fit the couple’s requirements:

House #1

This is a colorful house! It is close to a toba and has perfect spot to go pray. It is also close to Phulan’s family.

Inside is a beautiful bedroom with sheets of silk. The kitchen is also very magnificent. It is big enough to cook 10 paans at a time! Don’t forget about Chapatis! You can cook those, too.

It costs: 8,509.22 Rs

House #2

A spacious mud house, only thirty minutes away from your own land. The home consists of one bathroom, two bedrooms, a kitchen, sitting room, huge toba and land. This home has a large master bedroom fit for three people and a sitting area by the window. There is a second bedroom for your future children which comes with a hammock and quilt. The bathroom is spacious, and allows you to move around in it. The sitting room is fit for the whole family, this opens up to the kitchen. The kitchen not big, but, it includes cooking supplies. This home comes with a guest bed outside, under a tree. This home has doors made out of bamboo and a includes cooking supplies in the kitchen. This house costs 6,500 rupees.

 

House #3:

A fine straw house a quarter of a mile from a toba. Very far from other residences, out in the open. Attached to the house is a small kitchen, a washroom, and a clay slab for prayer 5 times a day.The price is 4,300.20 rupees (Very reasonable compared to other houses in the area), and a grazing area for the camels completes this very useful house. If this house’s price is too much for your budget, trading 2 daughters for marriage is also an option! They must be beautiful and be able to have healthy sons.
