Here is a film with no dialogue. It should be easy to talk about this film in class.
Suggested themes: Education. Children growing up. How should educators teach children right from wrong?

Chameo 참외, by Superlocal

4 comments

This is a a kind of Chate Melon. It is sometimes incorrectly called the muskmelon. The muskmelon (scientific name, cucumis melo) is also known as the cantaloupe. The melon in this picture really has no English name (it's scientific name being cucumis melo, var. makuwa). It is sometimes called the Japanese Cantaloupe. It's Korean name is Chameo (참 외)

What are the differences? While muskmelons (cantaloupes ) have the distinctive rough net-textured skin, this has a hard outer peel (similar to a watermelon) and the inside of it is hard (similar to a cucumber). You can read more about muskmelons and cantaloupes at plant answers.

There are many mistaken translations from Korean into English, and you can read about some of them at Korean Food Translated.

In any case, have you tried this fruit before? I had my first bite just two weeks ago. It has the inside texture of a cucumber, and the taste is similar to that of a pear. It's really delicious.

This is an amazing image taken by a photographer I found on flicker while I was trying to respond to the question, "What do you call this fruit in English?".
