This weekly class is an English/Life Skills hybrid of sorts, as it develops the social skills of students while examining topics & themes normally seen in an ELA course, all within the realm of "Ghostbusters"! Each week, students will meet and I will moderate discussion based on a scene, entire movie, character, equipment, or ghost from "Ghostbusters" (primarily the movies and "Real Ghostbusters" cartoon). Students are encouraged to come to class with an open-ended discussion question or observation, but it is by no means mandatory. Similarly, students do not need any prior experience with "Ghostbusters"...if this is their first venture into the property, even better! Discussion may range from "what is the coolest piece of ghostbusting equipment?" to "what can we learn about opening our own business from the first movie?" and everything in between. Topics Week 1: The Ecto-1 Week 2: Venkman Week 3: Proton Packs Week 4: Spengler
