The website "Teaching About the Crisis with North Korea" is a product of the Korean War Digital History Project, which provides teachers with a number of hands-on, easy-to-use lesson plans for teaching students about the Korean War. If you are interested in creating an experiental, simulation exercise for students, there are step-by-step instructions on how to turn the classroom into a "White House Situation Room," in which students evaluate the North Korea & South Korea conflict by acting as members of the President's Chief of Staff. If you are a teacher looking for a more hands-off approach, the site has a link to a "Video Tour" of North Kore that students may explore at their own pace. The site is extremely thorough for educators, as it even includes an "accountability worksheet" for students to fill out as they explore these many video presentations of life in North Korea. In perhaps what is most advantageous for an ELA teacher like myself, the site also includes a link to a writing project, in which students (in a CC standards-based activity) learn how to use rhetoric to write a policy briefing about the situation. This is an extremely thoughtful site, with a great ease of use, that a number of teachers and students would find extremely valuable in extending their knowledge about the complicated situation in Korea.
