Teacher notes
In this Lyfta Time, students will meet Kootyin and learn about the way in which she tries to preserve local history. You could use it to explore themes such as: history, community and activism. 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 Kootyin and oral histories in the lessons 'Oral Histories Part 1 and Part 2'.
