Episode 3, Bridgerton

The Shawshank Redemption is a redemption plot. This is a genre of film that looks back over life events in flashback with a voice-over and, of course, ends with a redemption. This is similar to story structures often used in L&D –when something goes wrong,and a characterreflects on it in flashback. I bring out the tropes so we can credibly work in this genre.

This movie left me wanting to find out more. You can teach some broad principles and even a few facts and figures with drama, and it can be verysticky learning, but if you try to use drama to teach semantic detail, you’ll undermine its core strength as a learning tool.
