The Mummy's Curse - Session 4 - Worksheet

In Session 4 of "The Mummy's Curse," the worksheet dated 3rd November 1922, focuses on a variety of interactive and thought-provoking activities designed for Key Stage 2 students. The session begins with discussion questions that delve into the time-thieves' initial reactions to Egypt and explore the emotional responses of characters like Konstantin to cultural interactions. Students are encouraged to consider the historical perspectives on gender and clothing, as they discuss why trousers might be deemed unusual attire for a girl. These discussions aim to develop students' reading and comprehension skills, as referenced by the RS codes provided.

The reading activities continue with tasks such as extending a timeline to track key events and analysing the first impressions of notable figures like Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter. Character analysis and comparisons, such as between Luna and Lady Evelyn, further enhance students' understanding of the narrative. Grammar and punctuation are addressed through a 'Grammar Hunt', where students search for examples of expanded noun phrases, adverbs, conjunctions, modal verbs, and hyphens. The 'Words to Workshop' section provides a rich vocabulary list for students to explore and incorporate into their writing. Writing opportunities include creating diaries or biographies for the story's protagonists and composing instructions on tent building. The worksheet also links to a broad curriculum, integrating subjects like science, computing, history, geography, art, design and technology, music, religious education, and personal, social, health, and economic education, each offering a unique angle to engage with the unit's theme.
