Believe it or not Jennifer, the student actually chose to draw it on her own. She is in my credit recovery class, and when I asked her why she chose North Korea, she said she learned about North Korea in Advanced Placement World History (which makes sense) and she was quite knowledgeable about Kim Jong-Un, but when I mentioned Kim II-sung to her it was definitely crickets in that regard lol,
I'm not surprised she chose it though, because the way our curriculum is set up in Texas, we have a few opportunities to learn about the 2 Koreas in the traditional curriculum. AP however, is such a wide variety and they actually go into a lot more detail then we do on topics and concepts, because they have a lot stronger students then we do in traditional, and considering I have never taught Advanced Placement it would make sense the credit recovery student would in fact choose it over a traditional regular student.
I am still trying to ponder how I can use what I learn here in the 2 Koreas and apply it. With World History in Texas, we kind of just have to graze the surface of the topics we cover, which I understand considering we have to cover from Plato to Nato in a mere 180 days.
