2019 - 10 - 13 - Three Act Structure Parallels

When we take a closer look at the three-act structure it can be difficult not to see the parallels between it and a quality learning experience. Both start in Act I with an introduction to all of the characters, the setting, and any needed backstories. Both move onto Act II where our Hero starts to lean and apply there learning until they master the challenge before them. And both end with Act III with a Hero who has mastered the challenge and then returns home, hopefully, changed for the better. This parallel is so strong that I may have on more than one occasion broken courses up and labeled them Act I - Act II - Act III There is also a similar parallel between the Hero's Journey and the Learner's Journey. Which we will start to explore a bit in the coming days.
