Have you ever wanted to explore and learn more about the characters of Star Wars? Have you ever wondered how much they developed throughout their Star Wars journeys? In this ongoing class, we will dive into each character's life and really get to know who they are, what they are about, and how the force guides them through this amazing saga. 
After learners have gone through the character's background and history in my lecture each week, they will engage in an interactive discussion about their thoughts and opinions about the character. They will also use their critical thinking skills to answer discussion questions on "what if" scenarios. We will also discuss what character traits make them a hero, sith, leaders, etc.

There will be slides, pictures, and video clips for the students to read and view during the class. 

The only required experience or knowledge learners should have before attending the class is to be familiar with Star Wars. It would definitely not hurt them to watch or re-watch the Star Wars movies, animated series, or television series.

I have been teaching for 18 years in elementary education. Not only do I teach character traits, one of the main skills I teach in Reading and English is critical thinking, which is to think more deeply into and beyond the stories or subjects. I'm also very knowledgeable as a Star Wars fanatic and I am absolutely involved in the saga.
