The very places and content found in textbooks! A designated experiential learning site by the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education! Let's go on an experiential learning trip prepared with “Exciting Curriculum Experiential Learning”! Let's visit the village of the people of the past, the Korean Folk Village! Insert photo stickers of artifacts and historical sites for convenient use in your experiential learning report! If you were to name a place where you can glimpse the lifestyle and culture of our ancestors, it would be the Korean Folk Village. This is because it is a place where you can see not only the forms of traditional houses but also the lives of people from the past with your own eyes. Based on the late Joseon Dynasty, it is a place where the lifestyle of that era has been faithfully recreated. It recreates and exhibits not only the culture of the social classes, broadly divided into the Yangban (nobility) and commoners, but also folk beliefs and seasonal customs. From farmhouses and private residences that reveal the geographical characteristics of each region, to government offices, and even marketplaces that clearly depict the lives of commoners, everything is vividly recreated—from the ninety-nine-room Yangban mansions to the bustling marketplaces. This book, which covers the Korean Folk Village, contains information necessary for elementary students to tour the village as well as engaging stories that offer a glimpse into the wisdom of our ancestors. The features of “Exciting Curriculum Field Trip - Korean Folk Village” include: 1. An easy-to-understand explanation of the forms of traditional houses and the lifestyles of people during the late Joseon Dynasty. 2. The ‘Small Steps, Big Thoughts’ section delves deeper into the folk beliefs and daily lives of our ancestors, aiding in an understanding not only of their living culture but also their spiritual culture. 3. Gaining insight into the wisdom of our ancestors by examining the structures of traditional houses. 4. Experiencing the tradition of mutual assistance practiced by our ancestors who lived by helping one another.
