Lyfta Time #42: Marcelo in Sao Paulo, Brazil

Teacher notes

We explore Marcelo's storyworld 'The People's Philospher', along with themes such as philosophy and social media. 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. You can follow this short lesson up be exploring more about Marcelo and Sao Paulo in the lesson plans 'Social media for positive change' and 'Exploring inequalities in Sao Paulo'.
