Pen Pals Map- South Korea

Although kickball was invented in the US, popularity has exponentially grown in South Korea and taken a new name as balyagu, or foot-baseball. Kickball is a game that requires minimum amount of supplies including a rubber ball about the size of a soccer ball, and four bases that can be composed of anything. We chose to utilize the youth in South Korea to offer our students a different view of a common past time in our country. Although the same basic concepts of the game still exist, some rules may be different including the number of innings, more or less players, and strike outs and it is important to udnerstand the different rules around the world. We created this map to represent the location our students are in and the location of where our pen pals in South Korea are located. This map will help our students comprehend how far away their pen pals are and where exactly they are located in the world. It can also give our students an understanding that many different countries with different cultures can be involved in one common interest.
