Now have a look at the floor plans below. One of them is a modern house plan and one is a house from the 17th Century. Which is which? Can you explain why you think this?

Can you use a ruler, squared paper and a pencil to draw a plan of the ground floor of your house? Take a photograph of your plan and then upload it to the Seesaw document called ‘Whose house is this?’ You will then write about how your house is different from the houses in the 17th Century?
