Leveled Reader A Child's Life in Korea
REINFORCE CONCEPTSThis week's concept is changing cultures. When people move to a new country, they must face the challenges of living in a different culture. What challenges do you think you might face if you moved to a new country?
BEFORE READING Using the Picture Walk Routine on p. DI•1, guide students through the text focusing on key concepts and vocabulary. Ask questions such as:
pp. 6–7 What are these Korean children doing? (lining up for school) Yes, this picture shows how South Korean children gather outside school in the morning, and some are awarded prizes.
p. 11 How are these children dressed? (The girls are in very bright, colorful dresses. The boy wears a blue vest and loose white skirt.) They are dressed in traditional clothes called hanbok for a holiday. Usually they wear the same kind of clothes you do.
Read pp. 4–5 aloud. Then do a choral reading of pp. 6–8. Have students read and discuss the remainder of the book with a partner. Ask:What are some family traditions in South Korea?(Saturday afternoon is a time for families to be together. Children do chores and keep diaries.)
