Teaching on International Day

(Making a board for Yoot Nori)

  In my school we have a special school day called International Day. On this day, students from different countries share their traditional food, introduce their cultures (wearing their traditional clothes, showing traditional activities). Usually seniors and teachers organised the day. However, this year seniors (y12 and 13) were solely responsible for this day. Y12 were told to teach their traditional stuffs and y13 were setting up and doing decorations for the day. A Korean group that I was involved in planned to teach Yutnorri, a Korean monopoly

 I am not a good English speaker,so I have never taught something in English.
This was an opportunity for me to take a new challenge, but I was so nervous to do it. A bit of excitement which might come from the fact teaching traditional games in my country was behind overwhelming nervousness.
 Since I am not a good English speaker, I wasn't able to explain the sophisticated rules about the game properly. So before the day, at least I had to do sth, I helped to draw a board and make item cards for the game. However, on the day the activity was quite fine, better than I was worried about. We divided each year groups into two and Na Kyung and I took one of the teams. After Johnny explained the general rules to the all, we helped another group and led them to play the game properly and explained them again to assure if they understood the rules properly. It was unpleasant that at least one of people in each group even didn't play it, but some of them really seemed to enjoy it, which was really glad to see.

Feedback from each year group.
Some of them were really satisfied with our activity
(even some said it was the best activity on the day)
 and
it made me really fulfilled

Teaching our traditional games was awesome experience and  my first teaching (even that was about my country's traditional games) brought me indescribable achievement. I have never taught anything traditional to others, but when I did it via this opportunity, it was really achievable. If we had prepared the explanation of the rules more clearly, it would have been much more enjoyable to them and us.

Ethical issue

On international day, it is a tradition that every nation brings different traditional food and shares it. The most famous Korean food that most foreigners really love is Samgak Kimbob.(Triangles) and I decided to bring triangles. Indeed we usually put meat(pork) for triangles, but we decided to put tuna, because there are some nations, for example Jewish and Islamic nations
