My Green Dream Home - Writing Prompt

Looking for an Earth Day activity that’s creative, fun, and just the right amount of eco-friendly?

My Green Dream Home is a two-part writing and drawing prompt that lets students design and describe the environmentally-friendly house of their dreams. Solar panels? Check. Rooftop gardens? You bet. A composting robot that also does homework? Why not! Students can let their imaginations run wild while learning how small changes can make a big difference for the planet.

First, students write about the features of their dream “green” home, how it helps the Earth, saves energy, and maybe even has a bike-powered TV. Then, they bring their ideas to life with a detailed drawing of their eco-inspired masterpiece. The result? A house that’s good for the Earth and display-ready.
