INTRODUCE TOPIC

I touch briefly on Archetypes. I use characters from movies that they can relate to. One of my favorites (that is out of date for this generation) is Harrison Ford's characters in Star Wars and Indiana Jones - One character, 2 settings, 6 movies. He is contrasted with Luke, who gets by with magic and religion, in that he uses his wits and the physical world.
