Linda Sue ParkA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
Use this activity to engage all types of learners, while requiring that they refer to and incorporate details from the text over the course of the activity.
“Describe the Art of Celadon Pottery”
In this activity, students use two photographs of celadon pottery to write descriptions using language that conveys visual imagery; students then compare their descriptions to the way the characters communicate celadon pottery’s value as an art form.
Find two images of celadon pottery from different historical time periods (for example, find one piece of pottery from the Han dynasty and another from the Goryeo dynasty).
Next, reflect on the ways in which Tree-ear and Emissary Kim describe the characteristics of celadon in the text.
Teaching Suggestion: Students might investigate museum sites and scholarly sites on Korean culture for celadon images. Alternatively, they might use the links provided below. For closure to the activity, students might select from their pieces of writing the most vividly descriptive sentence to share while you or a class member create a word cloud of visual imagery words.
