San Salvador de Jujuy is a city with a lot of history. Therefore it is common that people don´t know some of the most famous historical houses of the province. Before reading the text "A house with hitory" on page 48 and 49 respectively, watch the video 

guess what the topic is going to be. Then in groups of two or three students think and answer the following questions.

a) What historical houses do you know from Jujuy?

b)Do you know when they were built?

c)Did you visited them? 

d) Do you remember how many rooms they have?

Task

The task will be divided into two parts:

  1.  In the same group, compare one historical house of Jujuy with one world famous historic house that you know. Write a short article, at least one complete side of paper. 

Consider the following points

  • When they were built
  • Where these houses are
  • How many rooms they have
  • The sizes of the houses
  • Other details that you consider are important.
  1. Then be ready to create your own short podcast. Using your previous written article, make a short video ,at least two minutes of length. You can use different apps to edit your video such as Inshot, CupCut, TikTok, and so on. Use your imagination to make it interesting.
