Teacher notes

This lesson introduces Muhammed, a bereaved single parent in Finland, and his small daughter Amina. You could use it to explore themes such as: family, coping with loss and bereavement, and maintaining cultural heritage. 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.
