<Historical and revolutionary technology>

 

✓Lesson information

This lesson is quite interesting. The main text introduces Korea's great revolutionary technologies or heritages like 'the Turtle Ship', 'Seokbinggo', and 'Jikji'. It is quite interesting chapter. However, in this chapter, there are only Korean technologies or heritages. So I decided to introduce other countries' historical and revolutionary technologies. More information is followed.

 

✓What are these reading materials?

I prepared 4 different countries' historical and revolutionary technologies which are 'The Great Wall', 'Colosseum', 'Acropolis', and 'Pyramid'. These are very famous historical and revolutionary technologies that students can easily come to them and have full interest of them.

Also, I didn't focus only just introducing information of them. I want to show many things related with them, so, in these reading materials, there are many other things like history, mistery things, structure of it, or some interesting episodes. These things could be interesting factors when students read these 4 reading materials.

 

✓How can we use these reading materials?

I will put some activities after reading materials. I put 2steps in there, the first step is after reading main text. Main text is introducing Korean historical and revolutionary technologies, so, after reading main text, I will let students to find another Korean historical and revolutionary technologies. It can be a good step of expanding background knowledge of students and also reminding main text that students had read.

The second step is reading 4 materials. After that, students should find one new thing or information that they had read from these materials. Share it with other classmates.

The third step is very similar with the first activity. After reading and sharing 1 new thing, students will find another historical and revolutionary technologies from different 3 countries. From these steps, students can do not only extensive reading but expand their background knowledge and schema which can be good tools for their further reading.
