  2. RW (Mon): We will place ourselves in the lives of others living differently than us. Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North KoreaBarbara Demick, 2009336 ppsSummaryA remarkable view into North Korea, as seen through the lives of six ordinary citizens Nothing to Envy follows the lives of six North Koreans over fifteen years—a chaotic period that saw the death of Kim Il-sung, the unchallenged rise to power of his son Kim Jong-il, and the devastation of a far-ranging famine that killed one-fifth of the population. Taking us into a landscape most of us have never before seen, award-winning journalist Barbara Demick brings to life what it means to be living under the most repressive totalitarian regime today—an Orwellian world that is by choice not connected to the Internet, in which radio and television dials are welded to the one government station, and where displays of affection are punished; a police state where informants are rewarded and where an offhand remark can send a person to the gulag for life. Demick takes us deep inside the country, beyond the reach of government censors. Through meticulous and sensitive reporting, we see her six subjects—average North Korean citizens—fall in love, raise families, nurture ambitions, and struggle for survival. One by one, we experience the moments when they realize that their government has betrayed them.  Nothing to Envy is a groundbreaking addition to the literature of totalitarianism and an eye-opening look at a closed world that is of increasing global importance. (From the publisher.)

  18. “Claim” check 1) What is a claim? 2) Differentiate between claims and statements. 3) Find appropriate evidence to support that claim. At the very basic level, a claim is a sentence that can be argued. In other words, you can back up what you’re saying with evidence and explain why that evidence proves you are, in fact, right. On the flip side, someone else might completely disagree with you, but as long as they have evidence to support their reasoning, they can be right, too! Here are some examples: CLAIM: In-N-Out makes the best hamburger out of all of the fast food chains. What makes this a claim? a) It’s arguable. Not everyone would agree that In-N-Out burgers are the best b) It can be supported with evidence. Theoretically, you could poll thousands of people and see which hamburger is the best. You could track sales and see which restaurant sells the most burgers, etc. NOT A CLAIM: In-N-Out makes hamburgers. Why isn’t this a claim? Students may know that a quote from the text is necessary to back-up their claim, but they may struggle with finding the right quote. The right quote must 1) be relevant to the topic they are writing about, and 2) must support their claim/reasoning. If it doesn’t meet the above criteria, it’s probably not the right piece of evidence to use.

RW/SS (Thur): How has the history of North Korea affected where it is today? • Opening: • Read the article “North Korea’s History” • WorkPeriod: As you read, take notes over vocab, thoughts, questions, and connections. • Create a time-line showing the events of North Korea’s past which have lead to where they are today. • Finished?
