"Living in a divided nation: comparisons between Korea and Ireland." By Rick Girling
Using the movie "JSA" as an introduction to the DMZ and the conflict between the two Koreas, Mr. Girling will demonstrate his lesson plan to discuss the contemporary issues regarding stationing of U.S. troops in Korea. In doing so, he will be looking at some similarities and differences between Korea and Ireland by drawing upon his personal experiences of life in Northern Ireland.
Richard Girling is currently teaching AP World History and American Democracy at Lowell High School in San Francisco. He also teaches the Curriculum and Instruction course for Social Studies teachers at SF State University. He began teaching at Galileo High School and has been teaching for 16 years in the SF Unified School District. He also has taught high school and lived in Northern Ireland for 2 years. Mr. Girling's fields of teaching include AP Economics, Economics, World History and African American History.

"The Korean experience in the Vietnam War between 1965 and 1973." By Thomas Priddy
Mr. Priddy will examine the Korean role in the Vietnam War, analyze narrative descriptions of operations by Korean forces, and compare the similarities and differences between the Korean and American experience during the conflict. He seeks to tie his lesson plans in with a unit on the Vietnam War (in a U.S. History course), or with a unit on Korea (a Modern World History course).
Mr. Priddy is currently teaching Modern World History and United States History at Lowell High School in San Francisco. He received his M.A. in History from San Francisco State University, having earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Southern California. His research emphasis was on 20th Century European history and United States foreign policy. He also has done extensive research and writing on the subject of the Vietnam War for more than 20 years.

"Korean Language and Culture: Korean Typography and Folk tales" By Ah-mi Cho
Mrs. Cho will investigate how Koreans in modern society are still bound to traditional family structures in various aspects of life. The relationship between parents and children in Confucian Korean society is reflected in the Korean folk/ fairy tales: "The Woodcutter and the Fairy" and "Kyon-u the Herder and Chik-nyo the Weaver." By referring to these stories, Mrs. Cho will attempt to show the influences of the close knit family structure upon individuals in Korea. In addition, she will also introduce the Korean alphabet and proverbs.
Ahmi Cho has been teaching Korean and German at Lowell high school since 1993. She started the Korean language courses at Lowell high school, the only public high school in Northern California that has Korean course in its regular curriculum. She received her M.A. and completed her coursework for Ph.D in German language and literature at the University of Freiburg in Germany. Ms. Cho has also taught post-secondary level Korean at the Korean Center in San Francisco.
