スターウォーズについて語ろう！: ウィークリーソーシャルディスカッションクラブ (8～12 歳)

In each week of this ongoing class, we will meet and discuss one of many different Star Wars topics! We'll delve deeper into the stories of your favorite characters, all sorts of theories, the Star Wars Universe, and all sorts of adventures found within it. When you join in, you'll have the chance to make friends with fellow Star Wars fans and maybe even learn new things about the stories you love!

NOTE: This version of the class is for 8-12 year olds. There is another version of the class for children aged 13+. Given that this is a discussion club, students will benefit from enrolling in the proper age group. Please enroll your child in the correct class!

In this class, we will cover many different elements of the Star Wars Universe. Of course, we'll discuss the movies, but TV series like The Mandalorian, The Clone Wars, Rebels, and The Bad Batch will come up as well, along with whatever other entries into the Star Wars series you love - video games, books, comics, legos, you name it! We'll share our favorite characters and moments, delve into theories about what might happen in future Star Wars stories, and sometimes have friendly debates (say, for example, who would win in a fight, Jar Jar or an Ewok?).

The purpose of this class is of course to have fun by discussing a shared interest, but also to befriend like-minded students and to learn how to express ideas to others in a respectful, engaging, and constructive way. I am here to guide the discussion, ask questions, provide structure, and ensure everyone feels welcome and respected, but this is a social club and so learners will be encouraged to be very involved in it! The more different thoughts and opinions, theories, and friendly debates that we share, the more fun the class will be! Seeing different points of view will always make for better discussion and will help us appreciate Star Wars even more!

So, let's make friends, share our passions, and talk Star Wars!
