Class Experience

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...

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.

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.

Prior to each week, students are asked to watch a Star Wars movie. Even if they have seen the movies before, it is a good idea to watch the movie again so the characters and story/plot are fresh in their mind. 

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)

The Star Wars movies are currently all available on Disney+

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

55 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 2 - 4 hours per week outside of class.

All three movies are rated PG-13 for sci-fi violence and some intense images. It may not be appropriate for all students.
