If there is a character that is going through something, then I use that as a catapult to guide [students] through the process to learn that about themselves ... You get those 'Ah ha' moments that teachers look for.... I'm trying to get the students to build self awareness, to build self esteem, and looking at things about themselves that they wouldn't typically talk about in a typical class setting.
