Teacher notes

This mini-lesson can be delivered either from the front of the classroom using a central computer screen, or for students who have access to their own computers or devices. This lesson introduces Izandra and would be a great way to explore role-models. You could use it to explore themes such as: music, representation and overcoming barriers. 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.
