Lyfta Time #31: Ivan in Russia

Teacher notes

This lesson introduces Ivan, who is from Taman in Southern Russia. You could use this lesson to explore themes of identity and belonging, community and the unique relationship between humans and animals. 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 'Ivan the Cossack' is available here: https://teacher.lyfta.com/teach/lesson-plans-previews/943
