We hear a lot about Korea in the news lately.
There’s so much more to the history and culture than what the news shows us.
I want my children to understand Asian history in our chronological studies of world history.
Our {evangelical and expensive} history curriculum was a little disappointing after WWII, so I had to research and find my own material to teach my kids real history and culture.
I grew up watching M.A.S.H. with my parents and we own the complete DVD collection.
I want to learn real history along with my kids, not just an American perspective.

Have you traveled to or learned about Korea?
Wow, this is amazing, you’ve put a lot of thought and work into this!
I was thinking the exact same thing! Thanks so much for putting all this together! And thanks for sharing on Booknificent Thursday on Mommynificent.com!

I have friends living in Korea right now. I should have my kids look at these so they get some idea of where their friends are living. And I love Korean food.
Amazing and your kids are blessed!
I love that you put this all together (–of course you did!) and are sharing the lessons and resources to help others! I really haven’t studied Korea much and I’m not big on war movies but I love that you wanted to get a wider worldview! I may just check out some of the suggestions above for myself! Thanks for sharing the fruit of all your work!
