Hello Isabel!
In my training year, I �ve also taught that subject (both in English and German) and it was also in the 7th grade.
Is your 7th grade level 3 or 1?
If it �s level 1 (this was my German class, but it works in English too or any other language): like Isabelucha, I �ve also made a house in cardboard (it opened like a window, the students could only see the outside of the house and were very curious how was the house inside! When I opened it, they could see each room... it �s difficult to explain better, but if you want I can take a photo and send it to you - just let me know if you want to). I �ve made a little film with a video camera with a person presenting her house ("Here is my bedroom.", etc.)
Then I showed the house and taught the rooms (you can also teach furniture with this...). The students came to the board then to stick the written words of the rooms in its right place. Then I made a simple worksheet just to match words and rooms.
If it �s level 3 (I taught Rooms and Furniture): I used a text from a book for children about some dolls moving house (where we could see some furniture), then worked the text and showed the rooms in a transparency to learn some furniture related to each room.

I hope some of this can help you! Good luck for Thursday!!!!!!!
