The Mummy's Curse - Session 13 - Character Analysis Lady Carnarvon

In session 13 of "The Mummy's Curse," students delve into a character analysis activity focused on getting to know Lady Carnarvon more intimately. The activity begins by examining the text for words and phrases that paint a picture of Lady Carnarvon's physical appearance. This close reading encourages students to pay attention to the details the author uses to bring her character to life visually.
