Our significant situation
Innova Schools will make a “Students Interchange Program”
between Los Angeles and Cusco branch next bimester. 2nd
grade students from Los Angeles Branch are very excited
because they will stay at Casa Andina hotel in the city center
of Cusco, but it’s the first time they will visit Cusco so they
don’t know what important places there are near their hotel.
How can we help them? What places are important for a good
stay in a new city? To help them, we will write them an
email describing places in the city center of Cusco.

Look at the picture of a CITY and write the names of
the PLACES you remember in a PADLET:
