Jacal

Jacal is a type of house that is made out of sticks and mud. It's like making a fort out of twigs and dirt, but bigger and built for people to live in.

First, people gather lots of sticks and lay them out in a rectangle shape to create the frame of the house. Then, they mix mud and water together to make some thick, gooey mud. They smear this mud onto the sticks to create the walls of the house.

After they let the walls dry, they add a roof made of more sticks that are covered with mud. This roof helps keep the rain and sun out.

People who live in jacals usually use them for shelter while they work on farms or raise livestock. It's a simple and inexpensive way to build a house using natural materials from the surrounding environment.
