Abstract
A new lesson plan for housing has been developed with three objectives : to have high school students take interest in housing, to increase their awareness of the relationship between housing and their family or social involvement, and to encourage them to make their housing choice in consideration of their entire life. The lesson plan focuses on the following points : 1. Three life stages are introduced in the plan, i.e., Single life after completion of schooling; Family life with partner and children; and Retired life. 2. For each of the three stages, the lesson plan includes the living and housing expenditure, the environment and safety of both in and outside of the house, and the time management. 3. The plan encourages students to take the initiative in working for each project which is made as realistic as possible so that students have to make their plans and decisions on the basis of the current housing market as well as other economic and financial realities.
