Teacher notes

This Lyfta Time might be most suitable for KS3 and above but its content also covers some of the new PSHE guidance on relationships for KS2 (2020). **Please note that the film is a PG cert.** **We recommend exploring Qwensley's storyworld more fully by using the full lesson plan 'Meet Qwensley'.** In this Lyfta Time, students will meet Qwensley and learn about his identity and family relationships. You could use it to explore themes such as: sexuality, equality, relationships and family. 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 finding out more about Qwensley and how Pride is marked and celebrated in Curaçao in the lesson 'Pride and Love'.
