The Mummy's Curse - Session 3 - Reading Comprehension

In the third session of "The Mummy's Curse" reading comprehension, students delve into a variety of questions that test their understanding of the text. They explore the significance of a shabti, an artifact from ancient Egyptian culture, and investigate the lengthy process it took to decipher the hieroglyphs on the Rosetta Stone. The weight of the shabti is also questioned, prompting students to think about the materials and symbolism associated with these historical objects.

Additionally, character interactions are examined, such as why Aidan refers to Arthur John Priest as 'one-eyed', and the narrative delves into the concept of Chronos, likely referring to an aspect of time within the story. A more personal perspective is considered when students are asked to contemplate why Luna chooses not to explain her views on the location of artefacts to her aunt. The session also touches on the practicalities of the characters' adventures, discussing why an adult must accompany Luna, Konstantin, and Aidan. To conclude the session, students are challenged to summarise the key points of session three succinctly, using no more than 50 words, demonstrating their ability to distill information and capture the essence of the narrative.
