Is
it likely that many young women will find a connection between their
personal lives and the resource content? |

Does
the resource encourage role playing? |
Resources that connect somehow to young women’s lives, as well as resources
that allow for role playing, are often highly engaging to young women.
A considerable amount of research
indicates that young women learn more when they can relate lessons and problems
to their personal lives. A derivative concept is that many young women learn
best through role playing, which allows them to use their imaginations to
experience an unfamiliar lifestyle.
