What it was like to teach essay writing to North Korean college students: They all chose topics criticizing America.

It was the fall of 2011, and I was teaching English at Pyongyang University of Science and Technology in North Korea. Two hundred and seventy young men, and about 30 teachers, all Christian evangelicals besides me, were isolated together in a guarded compound, where our classes and movements were watched round the clock. Each lesson had to be approved by a group of North Korean staff known to us as the “counterparts.” Hoping to slip in information about the outside world, which we were not allowed to discuss, I had devised a lesson on essay writing, and it had been approved. I had told my students that the essay would be as important as the final exam in calculating their grades for the semester, and they were very stressed.

I emphasized the importance of essays since, as scientists, they would one day have to write papers to prove their theories. Image by KCNA via Reuters “How exciting!” How Do I Write Reflectively? What can I discuss?
