Using original photography from my trip to Mount Baekdu (on the Chinese side) in 2012, this slideshow forms part of my 'English through Mythology' course. Aimed at South Korean university students, the Mount Baekdu (North Slope) slideshow introduces the legend of the goddess and the jade dragon. This is the first phase in a lesson that includes vocabulary review, interviewing fellow participants, reading a sample dialogue, and using newly taught vocabulary to make up an original dialogue.
