Lyfta Time #40 : Ambassador Kwon in China
Meet inspirational Ambassador Kwon, fighting climate change in the deserts of northwest China.
Teacher notes
This lesson introduces Ambassador Kwon, who was the Korean Ambassador to China. Kwon now plants trees in the desert to address the problem of desertification and climate change. 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, there are a number of Lyfta lessons, including: Life in deserts (Primary), Awesome trees (for KS2/3) and several secondary lessons, too.
