Jennifer, I agree and believe that our first and foremost duty to our students is to do all we can to assure their understanding of information that may be foreign to them. That usually requires some one-on-one, individual attention, and some special attention. There's an old saying (not really true) that make the point "the teacher hasn't taught if the student hasn't learned". Students like stories and this is one way to reach out to students to first get their attention, and then have the instruction tucked away in the story. Barry Westling
