The Mummy's Curse - Session 2 - Worksheet

In the second session of "The Mummy's Curse" worksheet, students delve into a series of discussion questions and reading activities that explore the narrative's unfolding events and character dynamics. They are prompted to consider Luna's shock at the Professor's Unwrapping of a mummy and to discuss the varying perspectives of other characters such as Aidan and Konstantin. The session also piques curiosity about why Petrie leads certain characters to his private office. Students are encouraged to continue tracking the storyline through a timeline and to engage in deeper character analysis, particularly of Professor Flinders Petrie, which includes drama exercises and reading comprehension activities.

Grammar and punctuation are not overlooked, with a 'Grammar Hunt' activity that sharpens skills in identifying expanded noun phrases, adverbs, conjunctions, and the correct use of semi-colons, direct speech, and paragraphs. A 'Words to Workshop' section provides a rich vocabulary list for students to explore and incorporate into their language use. Writing opportunities are abundant, ranging from persuasive letters and biographies to news reports and instructions on mummification. Additionally, the session prompts a thoughtful discussion on the ethics of unwrapping mummies. Cross-curricular links are made with subjects such as Science, Computing, History, Geography, Art, Religious Education, and Personal, Social, Health and Economic education, offering a holistic learning experience that extends beyond the core topic.
