Lesson plan

Lyfta Time #73: Mohamed in Egypt

Meet Mohamed, a Bedouin camel herder in South Sinai, Egypt.

Teacher notes

This lesson introduces Mohamed, who has loved camels his whole life. **KS1 teacher note:** For younger learners, we suggest you watch the film with subtitles OFF initially to allow learners to watch and enjoy the film and observe what Mohamed does. You could also remove or skip through the provocation, as suits. Ideally you would follow up this session with a second run-through with subs ON, pausing to read the subtitles - this would be lovely as Mohamed has some funny things to say about his camels! 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.
