groups, singers, songs?

We will focus on:

- Reality Show
- A reality show is not like a movie where people practice and act
out what happens. A reality show is happening in real life and what
happens is actually happening because of the people in the shows
do! ~10mins
- Exist outside of Korean culture. There are reality shows
everywhere, but the ones in Korea are some of the better known
ones because of all their supporters and fans
- Because a lot of people like Korean Reality Shows, it is popular.
- K-Pop music
- Very unique to Korea
- Dance moves that look really good and together
- Songs and music videos that use a lot of colors and bright effects
- From Korea, but also very international. Kpop embodies Korea but
at the same time also other places aroundthe world

Student Practice/Application:
- Activity: 4 Corners
- Taking music from dramas, and Korean reality shows and just ~13mins
normal kpop shongs have students listen to music and decide the
where they came from (from a drama, from a reality show, just a
kpop song by itself, or not kpop)
- How this activity works, I will play a snippit of a song, and the
students have to decide where that song fits. If they think it is from
a reality show, they go to the reality show side, if they think its
from a drama, they go to the drama corner, kpop songkpop song
corner, etc.
- After each round/deciding on the corners, we will then discuss why
they think it is from such a medium
-
Wrap up/Closure:
- In Asian popular culture, Korean Pop Culture is one of the most
well known cultures around the world
- Do you want to know how Kpop became so popular?
- We will continue to talk and discuss about Korean pop culture fans
next time and how it became so popular around the world !
