In this ongoing class, learners will have the chance each week to meet up and discuss everything about anime! This is very much a social club, and so every class will be driven largely by student input and enthusiasm. As the teacher of the class, it is my goal to facilitate discussion so that students can feel welcome and free to express their ideas, opinions, and passions. I also hope to broaden their horizons within the medium of anime, meaning that this class is not only an opportunity to discuss things about anime students love already but also a chance to learn more about anime, manga, and Japanese culture both from me as a teacher and from their fellow classmates. In the midst of this, students will have the chance to improve their communication and listening skills and even make friends!

NOTE: This version of the class is designed for 9-12 year olds. If you have a teenage learner, I have a version of the class designed for children aged 13+. Given that this is a social class, please enroll your child in the appropriately aged group!

Topics in the class will be largely student driven! We will start the first week off by discussing our favorite anime and then decide future topics from there. In any given class, students will have the chance to discuss their favorite anime, share series they may be currently watching, examine heroes and villains and every character in between, compare and contrast different shows, among other things! Given that this is a largely hobby based club, a more student-driven approach is appropriate and topics will vary from class to class!

It probably goes without saying that students should come into class having watched at least some anime, but whether they've been anime fans for a few weeks or several years, all are welcome so long as they are enthusiastic and ready to learn and share! Students are of course welcome to join in at any time!
