In this task, students assume the role of a real estate agent hosting open houses to inform potential buyers of the home’s attractions. Students choose the home that they will represent and create a few different open house speeches that will inform and persuade potential buyers that this home is right for them. Students should prepare for buyers from different populations and create a variety of speeches that cater to the needs and concerns of these different groups. There may be other real estate agents who are looking to show the home to their buyers, investors who want the property for rental or other purposes, families with small children, retirees, etc.
Note: This task is not accompanied by a rubric. We suggest teachers/schools select an appropriate rubric from this resource bank or your school/district materials.
