ReplyDeleteHi Timothy!
ReplyDeleteI thought your project action plan was very well put together. You seem to be covering a lot of characters in the project as well as lots of history about the author. I believe there is a lot to learn from this story and its historical context. I am sure you find tons of information. Have you been able to find any quotes from the reading that relate to what you will be discussing? How do you think Ch’un-hyang’s story would have been different if she were to remarry the king instead of staying faithful to her husband? I am excited to see the final results of your project; it is shaping up to be a pretty solid report. You have a lot of information here that will help you write it out. Best of luck with your project!
