Humor en Die reël van Drie in jeugboeke a.h.v. Wie skrik vir Wortel Wolf? En Die Feetjie-Polisiediens van Leon-Ben Lamprecht

Presentation language: Afrikaans

Date & Time: 3 June 2025, 15:00

Webinar

Presenters: Henk Viljoen & Helene de Clercq   

Humor is necessary in our everyday lives and there are several ways in which humor can be exposed to the individual and especially the youth. Adults can sensitise children to humor in youth stories, thus developing reading and life skills. The Rule of Three again creates a sense of balance, tension and ultimate success. This technique builds tension, expectations and repetition reinforces memory, and also creates structure. These elements are highlighted in two stories from the author, Leon-Ben Lamprecht's books: Wie Skrik vir Wortel Wolf? and Die Feetjie-Polisiediens.
