Lyfta Time #48: Marja-Leena in Finland

Teacher notes

In this Lyfta Time, students will meet Marja-Leena, whose seemingly small job makes a big difference to performers at the Finnish National Opera and Ballet. You could use it to explore themes such as: careers, hobbies, working alone, contributing to a team and independence. 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 by exploring more about Marja-Leena and the way she's carved a career out of a passion by using the lesson 'Creating a career'.
