includedClass Experience
Set in the fictional town of Hawkins Illinois in the 1980s Stranger Things follows the adventures of three teenagers who encounter a mysterious girl with supernatural powers. The teens make it their mission to solve the case of the disappearance of their friend Will Byers. In the fourth season the kids continue growing older. It has been nearly two and a half years since the disappearance of Will Byers. The kids are split between Indiana and California, government agents are determined to hunt Eleven down, and two of the adult characters plan a rescue mission involving breaking into a Russian prison. In this class we will come together as fans of Stranger Things to discuss one episode of the hit Netflix series per week. All viewing should be done outside of class. This class will cover only the fourth season of Stranger Things. Future classes will cover the other seasons. Each student will be asked to share what they liked or didn’t like about each episode. I will then talk the class through a scene for scene retrospective as I break each episode down via guided discussion. This is the same approach I use for my other film studies classes on Outschool. A sample schedule has been listed below. This class will be offered throughout the year. Class 1 Chapter One: The Hellfire Club Class 2 Chapter Two: Vecna's Curse Class 3 Chapter Three: The Monster and the Superhero Class 4 Chapter Four: Dear Billy Class 5 Chapter Five: The Nina Project Class 6 Chapter Six: The Dive Class 7 Chapter Seven: The Massacre at Hawkins Lab Class 8 Chapter Eight: Papa Class 9 Chapter Nine: The Piggyback
Learning Goals
Our goals are to come together as Stranger Things fans.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have a bachelor's degree in educational studies and more than 20 credits towards a masters degree in history. I have 5 years teaching experience including teaching film studies courses. I have been a Stranger Things fan since it first premiered in 2016. I also have lived experience having once been in the same age group as the teenagers portrayed on this show, though I am an adult now I can still relate well to this age group.
