“History newspaper delivery~!” If you read it with interest, Korean history will stick in your head!
Big Star Teacher Choi Tae-seong publishes a new concept history book for children.
A Korean history newspaper presented to commemorate the 80th anniversary of liberation

Reading Korean history in newspapers gives me more power to think.

Convey information concisely and clearly, and include diverse perspectives.
This book takes advantage of the newspaper's strengths, conveying the essence of the events in an accessible manner while also raising questions about each topic and encouraging readers to interpret it for themselves.
Young readers can develop historical thinking skills by connecting the past to the present, rather than simply viewing it as "the past."

A history book to read, see, and think about
This book conveys historical events from various angles through a colorful article format, just like an actual newspaper.


1.
Front Page Headline: Presents the core keywords of the day's topic as a title, helping readers get a preview of what will be covered in this chapter.

2.
Big Star Article: A concise news article structured according to the six principles (when, where, who, what, why, and how).
Helps children quickly understand key facts and summarize the development and context of events at a glance.

3.
Big Star Interview: An imaginary interview where you meet historical figures in person and hear their stories.
By vividly conveying the characters' thoughts and emotions, it goes beyond simple information delivery and enables character-centered empathetic learning.

4.
Big Star Column: This is a commentary corner where reporter Big Star provides his own commentary.
It conveys historical significance, background, and connections to the present day in an easy and profound way, using explanations tailored to children's level.

5.
Big Star Advertisement: A fictional advertisement satirically depicting the situation at the time.
It stimulates historical imagination by expressing the times and culture in a playful way, and even provides background knowledge.

6.
Chronological Bromide: A chronological bromide is included to help you organize what you have learned in the context of the times.
It is effective to keep it on your desk and understand the flow of Korean history and the causal relationships between events.

A historical newspaper with witty illustrations and vivid photographs

Witty illustrations help bring historical scenes to life and make complex content visually accessible.
Additionally, various visual materials such as actual artifacts, photographs, and maps are included, adding a sense of historical presence and realism that is difficult to convey through text alone.


History is a window to the future.

《Big Star Teacher Choi Tae-seong's Korean History Newspaper》 is not a simple introduction to history.
It is a living book designed to help children understand history not just as “things of the past,” but as “stories connected to the present.”
Within the clear framework of the newspaper format, children learn, feel, think, and develop a historical attitude that allows them to ask questions.
As we celebrate the 80th anniversary of liberation, this book will be a special gift, helping our children develop a broader perspective and deeper thinking through history.
