Oh, interesting! I have not heard about it, but you’re right. I’m going to investigate. Thank you for sharing and I’m glad the post resonated with you!

This idea is JUST what I needed. I am teaching a “World” Lit class for Sophomores next year, and when I look at the curriculum it is almost entirely British/Western. This post inspired me to do a bit of digging and I found a structure I thought you might like to know about: Kishotenketsu. I am just learning about it, but it is a classic Chinese, Japanese, and Korean narrative structure. Apparently it is used in many Studio Ghibli movies and in a lot of Japanese Manga. I don’t know about your kids, but Manga is one of my students’ favorite genres.
