Lesson introduction (Hook/Prior Knowledge)
Activity:
Teacher asks students about whether they want to live in a society that emphasizes order or a society that emphasizes freedom. Then the teacher splits the class up in half.
Half of the class would be on one side of the room, and stands in orderly fashion. The other half of the class will be on the other side of the room and have freedom to do whatever they want to do. The teacher acts as a ruler for both sides, except the teacher expects the half of the class under an ordered society to pay attention to only want the teacher wants, and the other half of the class can act however they want, as long as it is appropriate under the teacher's eyes.
This activity is to give students a glimpse of what it is like to live in a society of either North Korea and South Korea. During the process, music will be played in the background. Playing music of the 1950s, this gives some students to shine in on their prior knowledge of the Korean War. Meanwhile the other half of the class can only speak when the music shifts to Soviet-esque Choir music. Then they can talk and answer questions using their prior knowledge (in a restricted manner) about the topic the class is going to learn about.
This would last about 5-7 minutes, a few minutes for each group to act out and answer questions that the teacher asks, and the answers students give out will be used to start the lesson plan.

Lesson Closure
For the end of the lesson, students will take 5 minutes to write down in their journal on their opinion if the two Korean nations would ever be reunited. Students then bring up prior knowledge of the North Korean/South Korean relationships that appeared in the news recently. The class will have a discussion about it.
Assessment
-Formative: Throughout the lecture, students take the time to answer the critical questions posted on the PowerPoint, split up into groups, share answers with each and then to the whole class.
-Summative: Students take 5-7 minutes to write in the journal on a critical question, but this time it would only be by themselves and it will be collected at the end.

Accommodations for English Learners, Struggling Readers and Students with Special Needs
-English Learners: The method of instruction will be for English Learners to be placed in groups with Fluent English speakers so that they can learn via group activities and communicate with them. By engaging in student activities with fluent English speakers, their vocabulary will be developed by talking to them and working together as a group.
-Struggling Readers: The method of instruction for Struggling Readers is the guided notes. Guided notes will help them get the core concepts that are important to learn, so they can pay attention to the necessary material. Also working in group activities will help them understand the material among their peers.
-Students with Special Needs: They are placed in the front rows of the classroom. Their conditions are kept confidential with me and I will keep an eye on them, checking to make sure if they have any questions in further understanding the topic.
