Today during school we took a day out of each class to look into key categories in English. These categories were Narratology theory, Rhetorical Theory, Philosophy, and Shakespeare.
In Narratology Theory, we covered different story structures including Todorov's Equilibrium structure, Barthes' Engima, and Strauss' structure.
In Rhetorical Theory we learned about different rhetors and their rhetorics. These included Aristotle, Jean Baudrillard, and bell hooks
In Philosophy, we discussed the trolley problem and being human. We had a great class discussion about these things
In Shakespeare, we talked about the story of King Lear, and how because he broke the pecking order of the kingdom, everything fell in chaos
Overall, I had a lot of fun and learned a lot whilst doing so
If there were to be more of these workshop days I would definitly consider going
