I knew Hyundai was a Korean company, but Samsung really threw me for a loop! Before today, the picture in my head of Korea was very much like my picture of Vietnam and I never used to think it was anywhere I would want to visit. Between the lectures and the readings, that's all changed. I'm already brainstorming ways to incorporate my newfound knowledge and richer understanding into my classroom. I'm so happy that the CA State Standards give us some leeway on area studies, and "East Asia" is among the areas! I also appreciated the resources from the Korean Cultural Center. Sometimes in my class we play little trivia games and the winning team gets candy. No more well-known American candy for them...I'm going to make a trip to an Asian market and get some Korean Moonpies now!
