The Mummy's Curse - Session 10 - Worksheet

Session 10 of 'The Mummy's Curse' worksheet, created by KS2Gems, prompts an in-depth exploration of the story set on the 4th of November 1922. Students delve into discussion questions that probe the characters' emotions and motivations, such as Arthur Conan Doyle and the time-thieves' reactions to seeing Tutankhamun's face, and the reasons behind Abdel's belief that the young pharaoh's remains should not leave Egypt. The worksheet encourages critical thinking about whether the characters should have heeded the warnings they encountered, the significance of Doyle giving Abdel a pendant, and the mysterious surveillance by Arthur John Priest.

The worksheet also lists a variety of reading and writing activities. Students are tasked with continuing a timeline to track key events and engaging in exercises that assess their understanding of the characters' hopes and fears. They compare these emotions during different tomb visits and work on a reading comprehension activity. Grammar and punctuation are targeted through a 'Grammar Hunt,' focusing on adverbs, expanded noun phrases, pronouns, and direct speech. A 'Words to Workshop' section presents a list of vocabulary words for students to explore. Writing opportunities include crafting instructions for excavating a tomb, penning a diary entry from the perspective of Evelyn or Arthur John Priest, and composing a news report about the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb. Cross-curricular links are highlighted, with connections to subjects such as Science, Computing, History, Geography, Art, Music, RE, and PSHE, promoting an interdisciplinary approach and ensuring the learning extends across multiple areas of the curriculum.
