Founded in 1948 by Kim II-Sung, North Korea is officially called the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. About the size of the state of Pennsylvania, it has been nicknamed the Hermit Kingdom because it is a country that few from the outside world have visited. With North Korea being in the news a lot lately, this might be a great opportunity to introduce students to the "Hermit Kingdom".

This resource would be a great opportunity to focus on something in the news.

This web quest has 8 web questions, lots of interesting facts(did you know that North Korea has their very own time zone classification or that at one time all teachers had to learn to play the accordion? There are comprehension questions, extension activities and the key.

Additional Resource of Interest:

1. North Korea and South Korea had historic meeting where they announced the end of the Korea War, which never formally "ended" back in the 1950s.. This would be a great opportunity to introduce students to the county of South Korea.

There is also a key for both the web quest and comprehension questions and additional links for teachers.
