Lyfta Time #49: Tsehaynesh in Ethiopia (Secondary)

Teacher notes

This lesson is suitable for secondary-aged learners as the film is a PG cert. The lesson "The right to education" is highly recommended to explore the themes from this shorter session. Students will meet Tsehaynesh and learn about her forced marriage and how she has been able to move on from this to access education safely within the Awra Amba community. You could use it to explore themes such as: relationships, gender equality, education and access to education. **Note: Please remind students that help is out there for young people facing distress, or dealing with an issue like forced marriage. Please remind them of where they can go to seek advice as per your school/ territory's guidance.** 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.
