The Mummy's Curse - Session 16 - Worksheet

Session 16 of 'The Mummy's Curse' worksheet, created by KS2Gems, offers a multifaceted educational experience for students, with a focus on literacy, critical thinking, and cross-curricular learning. The session, set on the 6th of April 1923, includes discussion questions that delve into the characters' emotions and motivations, such as Konstantin's feelings about meeting Arthur John Priest and the reasons behind his desire to time travel to save Abdel. Students are encouraged to explore these complex character dynamics and the atmosphere as the characters enter Tutankhamun's tomb.

Reading activities in the session aim to enhance comprehension and analytical skills. Students are tasked with continuing a timeline to track significant events, making predictions about Konstantin's plans, and discussing his hopes and fears in different scenarios. Grammar and punctuation are addressed through a 'Grammar Hunt,' where students search for examples of dashes, hyphens, modal verbs, adverbs, and direct speech. Vocabulary development is supported by the 'Words to Workshop' section, which presents a range of words for students to learn and apply. Writing opportunities allow for creative expression through diary entries and letters, while a discussion prompt challenges students to debate the ethics of time travel. The session also includes extensive cross-curricular links, connecting the themes of the worksheet to subjects such as science, computing, history, geography, art, design and technology, music, religious education, and personal, social, health, and economic education, ensuring a comprehensive and engaging learning experience.
