After another ten minutes, each group shares their sources and what they perceive as the accuracy of each one. The teacher lists the sources on the board. Discuss which sources of information are accessible as research materials. These might include news archives, textbooks, encyclopedias, non-fiction books and historical fiction, as well as primary sources. Assign each student one source so that students in a group should each be assigned to different sources.
Students then use their sources to gather information about the country their group discussed.
Students work within their groups to integrate their information into a coherent report on the country, including the information about North Korea or South Korea and highlighting the differences between information presented in various sources. Students should share their reports at a later date. Students will be evaluated based on written journal entries, participation in class and small group discussions, and thoughtful participation in research and the creation of group report. Research the relationship between North Korea and South Korea over the last 50 years. Create an illustrated timeline of major events in this time period.
