The Mummy's Curse - Session 13 - Reading Comprehension

In Session 13 of "The Mummy's Curse," a reading comprehension activity, students delve into the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of Alexandria. Evelyn, a character in the story, has her own theory about the cause of Alexandria's demise. To lift Evelyn's spirits, Lord Carnarvon has a plan, which is explored within the session. Additionally, the narrative touches on the emotional response of time-thieves upon finding their mules lifeless, adding to the intrigue of the tale.

The session also examines the nuances of language, asking students to interpret idiomatic expressions such as 'make a big splash' and 'feeling a bit under the weather.' The cultural sensitivity of the characters is put to the test when Luna reacts uncomfortably to Lord Carnarvon's remark about Egypt being a 'savage country.' Furthermore, the story progresses as Konstantin suggests an alliance, using the phrase 'time to join forces.' Students are tasked with summarizing the session in a concise manner, demonstrating their understanding of the plot and its developments.
