The Mummy's Curse - Session 7 - Worksheet

In Session 7 of 'The Mummy's Curse', a worksheet designed for KS2 students, the narrative reaches a pivotal moment on the 3rd of November 1922, with times stamped at 3.30pm, 3.35pm, and 3.50pm. The worksheet prompts an engaging discussion among students, with questions about the characters Aidan and Luna's argument after becoming trapped and how Aidan remembers the 10 plagues of Egypt. It also encourages students to consider the techniques used by the author to build suspense. To deepen their understanding, students are invited to continue a timeline tracking key events and perform a character analysis of Konstantin and Aidan, with resources provided for further exploration.

Writing opportunities arising from the session include creating a tour guide leaflet for Hatshepsut’s tomb, crafting instructions for opening the Puzzle Chamber, narrating the 10 Plagues of Egypt, designing a comic strip on the same topic, and writing a news report about being trapped in the Puzzle Chamber. The worksheet also integrates cross-curricular links, offering a holistic educational experience that connects the narrative to subjects like Science, Computing, History, Geography, Art, Music, Religious Education, and Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education. Students can extend their learning by creating 3D models of Hatshepsut's tomb, studying Ancient Egypt, exploring the physical geography of deserts, and discussing values such as respect, tolerance, honesty, and cooperation.
