Korea lesson plan
November 2006
Marguerite Stephens
1.
I teach a class on Asia at the 7th grade level. I have
four classes, with approximately 22 students in each
class. There are 255 hours of class instruction a week.
My church has also asked me to present information on the
Asian countries.
2.
Because of this class I will be able to add material and
information to lectures for my students. I also have
gained many ideas for lessons and projects that I would
not have thought of alone. The discussion and interchange
has helped me to see various sides of issues and gain a
broader perspective.
