The Mummy's Curse - Teacher Instructions

The "Mummy's Curse" teacher instruction pack, created by KS2Gems in 2022, offers a versatile collection of ideas and activities tailored to enhance the reading experience of the book in the classroom. Teachers are advised to use this resource selectively, choosing activities that align with the needs of their class and complement other subjects being taught. The pack is structured to provide activity suggestions for each chapter, but it is flexible enough to accommodate shorter excerpts, ensuring that the chosen activities correspond with the specific passages read to the class.

While the pack suggests certain points in the book to introduce foundation subject activities, teachers are encouraged to apply their discretion and adapt the timing to best fit their class schedule and dynamics. The ultimate goal is to integrate the activities when they will be most effective and engaging for the students. Teachers are also welcome to incorporate their own ideas into the curriculum, personalising the learning experience to captivate and educate their class. Additionally, the pack includes a 'Reading Skills' sheet that helps map the activities to the objectives of the English National Curriculum. The book "The Mummy's Curse" can be effectively integrated with topic overviews provided on the website, including 'Thirst for Adventure' for an English focus and 'Ancient Egyptians' for a history focus, along with guidelines on how to launch a class book.
