Teacher notes

This mini-lesson can be delivered either from the front of the classroom using a central computer screen, or for students who have access to their own computers or devices. It has suggestions for using from KS1 - secondary students. This lesson introduces Malte, who works in Berlin as a beekeeper, selling honey in his local district, Kreuzberg. You could use it to explore themes such as: sustainability, circular economy, values and the environment. 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 'Malte and sustainability' is available here: https://teacher.lyfta.com/teach/lesson-plans-previews/686.
