Lyfta Time #21: Hossein in Awra Amba, Ethiopia

In this short Lyfta Time session we will meet Hossein who lives in the elderly home in Awra Amba village.

Teacher notes

This lesson introduces Hossein in the village of Awra Amba in Ethiopia. You could use it to explore themes such as: ageing, elderly care and what things really make us happy. 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. 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 'Leading a full life' is available here: https://teacher.lyfta.com/teach/lesson-plans-previews/503
