Greetings.

This LP is for teaching students how to describe their Country, odds and ends, customs and culture, to foreigners. This is good for all levels, and can easily be modified. At the end of the lesson, there is a game called Quickdraw I found on Dave's ESL. The students roared with delight as they got to smoke one another in the face (though I encourage them to hit below the neck) with a piece of scrunched up paper.

The rules are in the PPT. I did make cards (with the questions needed for the game), laminated and all, but last minute decided to toss them. Instead, I got them to stand with their back to the screen while I read the question about korea, and then, at my signal, got them to turn around. First person to identify the right answer among the multiple choice, say it aloud, and then hit the other student with the piece of paper, won. I'd then proceed to give them a candy or chocolate pie.

The students quite enjoyed the game, even my partner teachers got in on the fun.

Enjoy.

This is awesome. I wanted to create powerpoint about exactly this topic for my writing class. Thanks so much. 

Any chance you could provide the answers to the trivia questions?

Re: the title:

I could write my own opinion of the title, but I'll suffice to leave this quote.

"In 1392, a new dynasty established by a military coup revived the name Joseon (조선, 朝鮮). The Chinese characters were often translated into English as "morning calm", and Korea's English nickname became "The Land of the Morning Calm"; however, this interpretation is not often used in the Korean language, and is more familiar to Koreans as a back-translation from English. This nickname was coined by Percival Lowell in his book, "Choson, the Land of the Morning Calm," published in 1885."

Re: the post. I didn't look through it because I teach elementary kids. The topic seems great though!
