Ava Kelly teaches writing short stories in the style of Romanian folklore passed down orally through generations - a style based on the rule of threes.
Description:
Romanian folklore has a long tradition of reinvention when it comes to themes, but the story structures are often based on the rule of threes: three acts, two sides, one lesson. In this workshop we analyze two existing folklore pieces and write our own story together. Featuring: Ava Kelly #gcws #classroom #writing
