 |
|
| I'm a new teacher in Korea and the students, as well as the other teachers, would like me to do an American culture lesson. It seems like such a huge topic. Breaking it up is not a good option because I only see some classes every 2 weeks. Any advice, topics, videos or any other suggestions. I teach 1st and 2nd grade high school boys, public school. Thanks. |

Actually that would have been my suggestion. Focus on smaller points of American culture, like foods, movies, computer/video games, holidays, music, etc. |

Do a slideshow on American schools. Some topics you could address:
What time do they start/finish?
When are the holidays?
When do teenagers start to drive?
What do teenagers do after school?
Spring break
Summer vacation
What subjects are taught in school?
How are they graded?
Football
Prom
etc... |

| Truth is they realy like Korean culture and might pretend they want an American culture lesson. |
