What does this quote mean to you?

A Step from Heaven Research

Good morning, English 12.

Today your task is to find:

1. an article relating to Korean culture (arts, entertainment, music, religion, etc.),
   
2. an article relating to Korean economics (jobs, employment, industries)
3. an article relating to a significant event in Korean history
4. What type of government is in power in Korea?
5. Who is the current leader?
6. The role of men and women in Korean culture
7. How do the Koreans view the US? Each other (North & South)
   

Be careful to make sure you are getting information on the same Korea (there are two: North & South). I will assign which one your group will do.

Here are some websites to help you find this information.

NOTE: DO NOT use Wikipedia and make sure to cite your information using your Noodletools accounts. You will be expected to turn in a Works Cited page documenting where you accessed your information.

1. South Korea: http://www.korea.net/
2. South Korea: http://www.korea.edu/
3. South Korea: http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Korea.html
4. North Korea: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/kn.html
5. North Korea: http://www.korea-dpr.com/
6. North Korea: http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/2792.htm
7. North Korea: http://www.kcna.co.jp/index-e.htm

Be prepared to discuss how these factors would impact an immigrant to our country.
