Good questions help pupils get more from their Lyfta experience. Our Storyworld question framework provides a set of flexible prompts to encourage curiosity, thoughtful discussion and meaningful reflection throughout a Lyfta session.
How does it link to Lyfta’s Theory of Learning?
Lyfta’s Theory of Learning describes how immersive experiences can help pupils connect with others, develop understanding, reflect on their learning and consider how they might act.
The question framework supports this process by encouraging pupils to:
Before exploring: Share what they already know, recognise assumptions and develop curiosity
During exploration: Notice details, ask questions and consider different perspectives
During the film encounter: Connect with a real person’s story and reflect on their experiences
After the experience: Consider what they have learnt, what surprised them and whether their thinking has changed
Thinking and acting: Explore how their learning might influence future conversations, choices or actions
How can I use the framework?
Use the questions flexibly throughout your Lyfta session, choosing those that best support your pupils and learning objectives.
You don’t need to ask every question. Sometimes one thoughtful question can lead to a meaningful discussion.
The framework works alongside the Storyworld-specific questions in Lyfta lesson plans and can be adapted for different ages and abilities.
