Lyfta Time #30: Deenpal in Denmark
Meet 12-year-old Deenpal in Denmark, a Sikh boy that loves football.
Teacher notes
This lesson introduces Deenpal, a young boy growing up in Denmark and part of the 'Becoming Me' storyworld series. We explore Deenpal's storyworld 'Brave on the Pitch', along with themes such as: fear of failure, resilience, hopes and dreams and goal-setting. 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. If you would like to do a longer follow up lesson afterwards, the Lyfta lesson 'Setting goals: Part 1' is available here: https://teacher.lyfta.com/teach/lesson-plans-previews/2660
