Ruth, this sounds like an engaging assignment.  Would you have students work in groups and assign them different roles...visual director, songwriter, etc?

This morning’s presentation on the North Korean film industry was amazing! I have not seen any of the films that Professor Kim mentioned, but will definitely want to take a look at some of them.  I’m curious about Flower Girl and Love, Love, My Love. In collaborating with a history teacher last school year, we mainly focused on students analyzing war propaganda posters.  I want to now include film as propaganda.  The brief clips that Professor Kim showed in class were engaging and I was educated in North Korea’s use of film as a way to distribute, educate, and legitimize Kim Jong-il as a leader to his people.

Hi all,            

My name is Kim Leng.  I’m a high school librarian in Los Angeles.  This summer has given me the opportunity to read and travel.  I recently got back from a trip to Punta Banda.  I look forward to meeting all of you tomorrow as we spend this week learning about East Asian visual arts.
