UNIT 9- Our festivals and traditions!

As you well know, we have a vast history which includes many constructions, temples, fables, traditions and celebrations passed from generations to generations. All along our territory, we have tribes as Shipibo-conibo, Machiguenga, Aymara, Aguaruna, Asháninka, among others. From them, we still have some celebrations and traditions which still take place.

I invite you to watch this video about Inti Raymi celebration in Cuzco, which takes place in June and then answer these questions:

·         What other Peruvian celebration is popular worldwide? Explain when and what’s it about.

·         What are the advantages of celebrating these festivities? Explain cultural, economical and social benefits for our country and for our people.

Unit 7- Amazing man-made constructions!

They are everywhere in our city, apartment buildings, stadiums, museums, theaters, among others. You’re right! I’m talking about “buildings”. But…Why do we feel the necessity to build structures? To cover our basic need of shelter and feel safe of course, or is it we want to show our power, intelligence or maybe because we don’t want to be forgotten? What do you think?

Please watch this video with many amazing constructions and tell us: 

From this list of buildings, which one would you like to visit? Why?
