May the 4th be with You: Exploring Music in Star Wars
This resource is designed to introduce KS3 students to the music of Star Wars and how it contributes to the storytelling and character development in the films. The resource includes three listening activities, a discussion activity, an independent written activity, a starter, and a plenary to recap key terminology. There is even an optional homework you can set! Sound clips from the three Star Wars characters we are investigating are also be provided.
Listening Activities:
The three listening activities will focus on the themes associated with three iconic Star Wars characters: Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, and Rey. Students will listen to short clips from each of these themes and answer questions about the music, atmosphere, tempo, tonality, dynamics, and instrumentation.
Character Comparison:
Students will use their answers for the listening activies to compare and contrast the three characters themes.
Discussion Activity:
After completing the listening activities, students will engage in a discussion activity where they will share their thoughts on how the musical elements contribute to the overall character development of the three characters. Students will also compare their responses with their peers and see if they can identify any differences or similarities in their observations.
