MIDDLE SCHOOL PROMPTS

Yes, folks, some people live in old, repurposed shipping containers—those huge, metal, rectangular boxes used for receiving goods from overseas.

You can read more about repurposing shipping containers and see some cool pictures here.

They are also being used for restaurants, art galleries, and more.

Other people choose to live in micro-units (tiny, tiny apartments) as small as 250 square feet. That’s 25′ x 10′. Measure that out in your house and see how much space that takes up.

If you were to live in a recycled shipping container or in a space as small as these micro-units, how would you arrange your living space? Now it’s your turn: Draw a floor plan that details where you would put a kitchen, bathroom, sleeping space, living space, and more. Then explain how you would use this space and where you would put things like your elephant collection. Describe how you might feel if you lived in a space this small.
