Lyfta Time #82: Megen in Nicaragua

Teacher notes

**Important note: There is a short section in the film (05.44 - 06.33) where the teen girls have an adult-led activity discussing periods and menstrual products. Please review to ensure its suitability for your pupil age group. Teachers of younger students could move through this section if they prefer.** This lesson introduces 15-year-old Megen who is part of a girls' surf group in Nicaragua, where surfing has been traditionally a boys' pursuit. 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 in all Lyfta storyworlds, every character is 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.
