Happy Liberation Day! August 15 is the celebration of the liberation of Korea from the Japanese.
I recently read “When My Name Was Keoko” by Linda Sue Park. It’s a fictional account of a family living in Korea during the Japanese occupation. I highly enjoyed it and I think it would be a good book for advanced, upper elementary aged students. It has the potential to spark a lot of discussion. I’ve not tried it with any of my students, but it’s on my list. You can read the first couple of chapters at Google Books.
