Copying discussion "starter" threads from semester to semester

Hello.

We are using the Classic Content experience. Does anyone know if it is possible to copy "starter" threads that the instructor creates from semester to semester?

Here's the use case: Instructor has created a Discussion forum. Within it, she has 5 different "starter" threads that she would like students to reply to. She doesn't want to have re-set them up every semester. She wants those starter threads to by copied. Is that possible at all? If so, how would you do that?

If not, how would you suggest she sets up her discussion?
