Uncovering North Korea (Teaching Guide Book)
A six-lesson curriculum unit that introduces students to
contemporary North Korean politics, economics, security issues, and daily
living as a means of understanding the nature of this country and its
relationships with South Korea, the U.S., and the rest of the world. An
important portion of this curriculum involves the documentary film, A State of
Mind, which follows two young North Korean schoolgirls in their preparation for
the Mass Games. (Stanford Program on International and Cross-cultural
