    Greetings Class,

    Long story short last week was homecoming week at our school and we had extra time in each of our classes to do fun stuff, so I decided to do the country research activity I mentioned in Week 1 Discussion.

    Well I am proud to say, I FINALLY got a North Korea Flag after almost a decade of doing the activity and got decent presentations on both Koreas, so I thought I'd share with you the finished product and it's only right if I put them above and below each other.  I cannot wait to use what I learn here with you all, and apply it in activities such as this inside of my classroom and school.

    Hi, Len,

    I'm curious about the student who picked North Korea. Was it all his/her own idea, or did you suggest it? In any case, I'm glad you finaly got the NK flag on your wall!

    Best,

    Jennifer

    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.
