Lyfta Time #10: Andrea in Argentina

In this short Lyfta Time session we will meet Andrea in Argentina, and learn how she recycles waste.

Teacher notes

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 Andrea from the Jujuy region of Argentina, who works as a waste picker on a landfill site. You could use it to explore themes such as: recycling, sustainability, consumption and environmental responsibility. Like ALL Lyfta storyworlds, these characters and their families 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, 'Meet Andrea' is available here: https://teacher.lyfta.com/teach/lesson-plans-previews/937
