Prevent students and family members from being drawn to the Dark Side by inviting them to choose from a list of videos which play different ambient background music and images while they work on other projects all with the theme of Star Wars. Display on any screen, such as a Chromebook or shared interactive whiteboard, for a multi-modal sensory experience that is out of this world. This is the way to participate in Star Wars Day that invites choice, provides a soothing experience, and that helps provide rich opportunities for language expression! May the Fourth Be With You!

Create Your Own Mandalorian for May the Fourth
May the Fourth is known as Star Wars day. A fun experience for learners of all ages might be to create their own Mandalorian from the Star Wars universe. Go to https://www.mandocreator.com/ to begin.
Implementation ideas include…
- Collaboratively working with peers to design and color the character by giving directions such as, “Put that on”, “Let’s use green”, and “I choose that one.”
- Practicing the pragmatic function of commenting on the character such as, “It is big”, “I like it”, and “It has many colors.”
- Exporting the picture and adding text to describe the character.
- Exporting the picture, importing it into a slide deck using Google Slides or PowerPoint, and adding additional images around it to create a scene.
- Telling a story about the character.
The universe is the only limit to how it can be used! Whatever the students’ create will be out of this world! This is the way!
