Lyfta Time #38: Carlos in Guatemala

In this short Lyfta Time session we will meet nurse and photographer Carlos Humberto in Guatemala and find out how his village was devastated by hurricanes.

Teacher notes

This lesson introduces Carlos Humberto in Campur, Guatemala. You could use it to explore themes such as extreme weather, community resilience and active citizenship. 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, 'Hurricanes hit Guatemala' is available here as a secondary version: https://teacher.lyfta.com/teach/lesson-plans-previews/3377 and a primary version: https://teacher.lyfta.com/teach/lesson-plans-previews/3381
