AnonymousJennifer, thank you for posting this! I unfortunately won't be able to attend the workshop but I was looking at the online resources for the exhibitions and the caves and temples and it is so great to go through virtually, I can only imagine how beneficial it would be to actually go to the workshop. I am currently at an AP World History training and unlike regular World History (basically Western Civs) I see so much of East Asia and other parts of the world actually represented. As I looked through the museum I am excited to see that this is actually going to be beneficial for my AP kids and that they can directly apply what they learn to a college level course. There are so many resources out there, but thanks to you I can now add another to my list of things without having to do too much work in actually finding it. Thank you!

The website I found is a great spring board for finding resources on Korea. The site is sponsored by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I really liked this website because it has a simple desing that makes it easy for teachers to find resources. For example, at the top there is a menu that allows visitors to quickly access books and articles, journals, external sources, etc. As a teacher, the section I would find most helpful is the primary source section. It gives a lot of tips on how to search for documents online. What was really awesome about this page is that it offers links to websites, radio stations and some primary sources from Korea. The problem with this is that these are all in Korean. I would imagine this hurdle could be overcome with google translate despite the fact that these translations might not be the best. This would be a wonderful resources for a Korean class. I wouldn’t necessarily show my students to this website so they could use it, I say it would probably be of best use to teachers as they conduct research for curriculum development.

The UCLA Confucius Institute has great resources and events during the year that everyone should definitely check out. Last summer, Natali (another member in this course) and I were fortunate enough to attend their summer institute, which was a teacher study tour in China, and we were able to visit Shanghai, Xian, Dunhuang, and Beijing. We learned so much that has been valuable this year in the classroom, so y'all should definitely consider applying for next summer. Additionally, one of our requirements was to create lesson plans based on our experiences on the trip, specifically on our focus with the Dunhuang caves. The link above has access to all the lesson plans teachers created about Dunhuang and the Mogao Caves, with handouts included. The lessons range from English to Math, and have history and science lessons as well. Y'all should also check out the Getty Workshop on the Mogao Caves that will be taking place on August 1st at the Getty.

AnonymousThank you for posting this! I focus on Confucius in both 6th and 7th grade. Being bale to access these materials will be helpful this summer while I am lesson planning. I am always happy to find new materials that I can use and or alter for the needs of my classroom!
