Lyfta Time #04: Erkan in Türkiye.

Teacher notes

This is the fourth Lyfta Time session we recommend as you get started with Lyfta. It can be used in KS1 and above and there are amended ideas in the teacher notes for younger learners. This mini-lesson can be delivered either from the front of the classroom using a central computer and screen, or for students who have access to their own computers or devices. This lesson introduces Erkan, a man who has few human friends but has found his calling feeding stray dogs and cats in Ankara, the Turkish capital. You could use it to explore themes such as: finding a purpose or cause, animals and care. Like ALL Lyfta storyworlds, these characters are unique. We don't share stories as being 'typical' or as 'single stories' of people or places. **Please note:** If this is your first Lyfta lesson, please see these specially designed introductory lesson plans first, which introduce the Quest Tracker and how Lyfta works: Option 1: '#1 Lyfta Time: Rob in Cornwall' is a 20 minute introduction exploring one storyworld Option 2: ‘How to use Lyfta’ is a 45 minute lesson exploring multiple storyworlds. **Follow-up lesson** If you would like to do a longer follow-up lesson afterwards, the Lyfta Lesson 'Voice of the streets' is available here: https://teacher.lyfta.com/teach/lesson-plans-previews/941
