Is water as precious to us as it is to Lila? - Worksheet

The worksheet poses reflective questions that encourage students to consider the value of water in their lives compared to its significance for Lila, a character who likely comes from a context where water is scarce. Through this comparison, students are prompted to express their thoughts on why water might be more precious to Lila. This exercise aims to foster empathy and a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by individuals in different parts of the world, particularly in regions like Kenya where water scarcity is a pressing issue.

Further questions on the worksheet guide students to contemplate the potential differences in their daily lives if they were to live in Kenya, a country that can be greatly affected by drought. This line of inquiry leads to a discussion on why Kenyans may have heightened concerns about drought compared to those living in regions where water is more readily available. The objective of these questions is to raise awareness about global water issues and the varying degrees of water's importance across different cultures and environments. The worksheet is a resource created by Focus Education (UK) Ltd to support learning and understanding of global water challenges.
