WORDY WEDNESDAY: FOLKLORE: meaning and examples
Hi, readers! How's your week going? I trust everything is going well.
For Wordy Wednesday, we are looking at the word FOLKLORE. It's a great vocabulary word for the month related to Halloween!
Definition: traditional art, literature, stories, etc. that are shared in a culture.
Example 1: The werewolf and vampire are two interesting parts of folklore in America and Europe.
Example 2: According to folklore, all of the spirits of the dead come out on November 1st.
Example 3: In my village, a common folklore is that the forest is haunted by a huge white wolf.
If you'd like some reading practice, here is a great website that shares American folklore stories, which are often called FOLKTALES.
