Inside a story

Two Lunchboxes

Would you rather try something new or choose what you know?

A different starting point

Short passages give a story room to develop. Photographs, thoughtful questions and optional sentence help leave room for conversation.

Read one scene at a time. Notice what people do, what they leave unsaid, and what might happen next.

Use food, customs and everyday choices to compare experiences without reducing a whole culture to one story.

Move from understanding a scene to explaining an opinion. Sentence frames and Korean question support are available.
