Session 07: Premodern prose narratives—Korea: Nine Cloud Dream (Kuunmong)

Topics for this session

❖ Premodern prose narratives—Korea: Nine Cloud Dream (Kim Man-jung, late 17th c.)

Thoughts*

Spring 2013

This class will open with 30 minutes of work time for the groups. Then strictly follow a schedule where each group has 5 minutes (4:30 really) presentation time (that includes setup and getting out of the way, a timed PPT will announce group names every 5 minutes without pause). There will be 10 minutes at the end that I might use.

The goal of the presentation is to say something of what you did and what observations or conclusions you made. We present so others can observe, and later use, your approach if they liked it, and to begin a discourse on Korea.

There is a MacBook Pro in the room that you can use to present if you want. Use a flash drive and off load into my folder on the desktop your presentation BEFORE CLASS BEGINS so as not to use your 5 minutes unwisely.

Required—to be completed for today's session

✓ By 30 minutes into this class period, your group must be ready to present on its work regarding Nine Cloud Dream and other Korean narratives (or Chinese / Japanese narratives where necessary).

*UNDER CONSTRUCTION: If this has not been erased it means something on this page is incomplete. Perhaps I want to recheck information or perhaps I haven't converted the page from the version of the previous class. It is available but should be taken dubiously.

*THOUGHTS: My hope is that you look at this portion BEFORE a session. If there is content here it might help you focus on the main points of the day. However, I add various things here at various times. When I feel I haven't succeeded in class stating something clearly, I might restate it here. Of if it is a difficult concept in might be given in written form here. I will assume that you have read and rechecked for changes this session in preparation for any midterm or other quiz or test.
