My Hero Academia Social Club (Ages 13-18)

What's included
1 live meeting
1 in-class hours per weekClass Experience
This club is to give students skills in communication and critical thinking as they discuss their favorite characters (hero and villain), the story's plot, the concept of a hero and a hero society, and literary themes from the show My Hero Academia. This class is specifically for the anime, but may include the manga depending on the group of learners. Each meeting will include topics involving quirks, a specific story arc, sharing fandom art, and playing games together. Every student is welcome to cosplay (whether in costume or DIY costumes) or themed merchandise. This club is to help give friendship and a community for the love of My Hero Academia. Each group will be different as meetings are based on what learners wish to discuss for that week. Once a group is established (usually after 3-4 weeks of meetings), then the group can share other anime and include other topics in the discussion. Please note that this class is specifically for ages 13-18 in order to go in more depth of literary analysis in more mature themes of the show. Please reach out if you have any concerns. Discussion topic outline for starting groups: First month topic-- Character This month will include questions centered around the characters of My Hero Academia. This includes questions such as: "Who is your favorite character and why?" "Who is your least favorite character and why?" "Which characters do you think are overrated/underrated?" "Who is the best hero?" "Who is the best/most dangerous villain?" e.t.c Second month topic-- Quirks "Which quirk is the best quirk for everyday life?" "Do you think quirks effect a character's personality in who they are and what they do?" "What is or would be the least effective quirk for hero work?" "Why do you think characters in the story think some quirks are better than others?" "If you had a quirk, which one would it be and why?" e.t.c Third moth topic-- Story Progression "How does each attack from the villains effect the students in Class 1A and their motivations in becoming heroes?" "Which characters are parallels for each other, how does this help compare and contrast in who they are?" "Do you agree with the villain's ideals of the corruption in hero society? Is All Might the only "true hero" as Stain deems him to be?" "Should UA high school continue to hold festivals with the rise of villains attacking the school?" e.t.c Please know that the point of this class is to create an inclusive community for learners to feel safe in expressing their thoughts and opinions, encourage them to ask questions, and help them learn social and critical thinking skills. The questions listed above are only a small amount of example questions that can be posed to the students about the show. Meetings may start on one topic but may change depending on what learners want to talk about. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. **IMPORTANT: Please know that this is an ongoing class. That means that payment is a weekly subscription for each week that there is a meeting. Some sections are BI-weekly to allow more variety of schedules. Please be mindful of the dates for the section you sign up for. Learners are welcome to join or leave the group at any time.**

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have a Bachelor's degree in English Language and Literature Studies that included mythology and literary analysis. I have worked with children ages 10-18 to help them think and question about the stories/media they enjoy.
My classrooms are LGBTQIA+ and Neurodiverse inclusive. I have worked on Outschool the past 5 years mainly in group classes to foster community, inclusivity, and collaboration. I value each of my students by encouraging them to share their thoughts, opinions, and interests while helping them see that same value and respect for each other despite their differences.
