Many young students have never heard of "Dorian Mode", and this piece gives them the chance to learn what it is and then to be able to play it. The music contains an excellent explanation at the beginning and give insight into the markings and dynamics contained in the piece. It promotes contrasting articulations and dynamics. This piece will be of great help to you as the teacher.
