Discussion Group About Stranger Things & the 80s

Do you or your student wish to build their confidence in speaking publicly and in group settings? This class is a discussion group to improve speaking, communication, and social skills.

Students meet weekly to discuss a new episode of Stranger Things starting with Season 1 Episode 1, "The Vanishing of Will Byers." Together students discuss episodes, characters, culture, and society in 80's Hawkins. 

We look through a dimensional tear;  into the cultural and societal themes of that year, 1984, delving into their fashion and the music playing in the headphones of Hawkins students. What was happening in the world? Did the government have technology capable of creating a dimensional tear? Was D&D that popular!? These questions and many more will be answered in this Stranger things Discussion Group.

🧏‍♀️ Together, we talk about how themes from each episode each week pertain to today's cultural norms and style. 

⭕️ How influenced are we by the past? 

❓❓Are things that different now?

Students are encouraged to watch the episode for that week and review the list of 5 critical thinking questions before class. 

I will provide weekly prompted questions days before class which allows students time to become familiar with the content.

I lead my students through a guided discussion group setting, allowing them to get comfortable speaking confidently and allowing students to elaborate on each other's ideas.
