Teacher notes
In this Lyfta Time, students will meet Jana, a fish marketeer trying to persuade people to buy and eat sustainable fish. You could use it to explore themes such as: careers, sustainability, responsible consumption and the health of our oceans. Jana's storyworld 'The Fish Marketeer' is one of 3 in a storyworld series called 'Fish Tales' which also includes stories of fishers and a fish chef. 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.
