"The Top Ten Things" article actually looks pretty useful, even if it is a bit short. It is a great introduction to Korea, and as part of the purpose of this class is to look at perceptions and clarify them this is a great jump off point. I used it in my lesson plan, especially the section entitled "Korea is Not New". This is a brief, but surprisingly comprehensive history. Yes, I understand the irony of calling such a short section on the country comprehensive especially when the selection specifies the length of the country's history.
