Welcome to a Star Wars movie experience! Each week, the students will watch a designated movie OUTSIDE of class: Prior to Week One: Episode VII (The Force Awakens) Prior to Week Two: Episode VIII (The Last Jedi) Prior to Week Three: Episode IX (Rise of Skywalker) In class, we will discuss the week's designated movie. Our discussion will be focused on plot points important to the story line, classic scenes, and confusing areas of the story. Students will be encouraged to talk about their favorite scenes, characters, weapons, droids, and vehicles. They will also have opportunities to ask questions and offer fan theories. This is a discussion-based class, so the conversation will vary based on the students and their particular likes and dislikes, but there will be certain plot points and important story elements that the class covers as well (for each individual movie).

Learning Goals
Students will develop a deeper understanding of the Star Wars universe. They will learn character, planet, and vehicle names. They will learn how those characters affect the overall Star Wars story. They will also learn how to listen to other students and take turns sharing their own personal opinions.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Spalding University
While earning my Master's Degree in Creative Writing for Children and Young Adults, I had endless discussions with my screenplay writer friends about the Star Wars Universe. Star Wars is so complex and ever growing that it seems impossible to know it all! Because the Star Wars galaxy is full of hints and questions, the movies and characters make great conversation! It is also nice to find other people (and potential friends) who share a love for Star Wars, science fiction, and good storytelling.
