A few weeks ago I had taken a lesson off of the waygook.org website where us foreigners can collaborate and share lesson ideas.
It's great for obtaining lessons when you really don't want to make one yourself or your brain is not coming up with any cool ideas of what to do in class.
This lessons has the teacher, me, go over the meanings of their flag which is quite beautiful I think. I have always loved the Korean flag when I was training Tae Kwon Do in Canada.
Now I will NEVER forget what each trigram means as I have taught it about 20 times already!
Anyway, after we go over the meanings and they make fun of how I say Taegeukgi, the students are to make a new flag as if they were the new president of Korea and the North and South reunited.
Here are some I like.
My favorite flag, which is a little hard to see, is the one where the Korean peninsula is eating the American and Japanese flags.
There were many flags that had kill Japan, Korea #1, Korea wins on it. It is quite clear the feelings Koreans, even young students, have for Japan.
While the boys were making their flags I played the ever popular Wonder Girls song, "Tell Me".Before I took the picture, those boys were all up dancing to the moves of the video. It was hilarious.

hahaha, loved the pictures of the flags. I liked the Christian-Buddah together one...but it's funny cos even in Korea I still think of the swastika as being Nazi :P
I know, they REALLY hate Japan, eh? So I did a lesson on WWII in Europe and Hitler. And then I told them the following week they would teach me WWII in Asia (because we don't learn this in Canada). I thought - this'll be easy if I just make an over-simplified fact-fill-out sheet for GROUP-work.
Well, I'll be damned. The smartest kid in the class comes to me and explains in very lengthly perfect English that this is "very high level information" and that they just don't know.
So for all their bitching and Hating of Japan...they have no idea WHY. They're just TOLD to hate Japan by their elders. (even in the advanced grade 11 classes, they STILL don't know why)
