The Mummy's Curse - Session 14 - Reading Comprehension

Session 14 of "The Mummy's Curse" Reading Comprehension delves into a series of questions aimed at assessing students' understanding of the text. The first question requires students to identify a phrase that implies irrelevance to the matter at hand. As the session continues, students must discern what leads Konstantin to believe that unusual events are occurring. They also need to pinpoint the origin of a locust plague within the narrative. The meaning of the colloquial expression 'here goes nothing' is another point of inquiry.

The session further explores the character Monsieur Lacau's intentions to retain the mummy of Tutankhamun in Egypt, as well as the cause of a power outage within the story. Students are asked to empathise with Lady Carnarvon's emotions following Lord Carnarvon's death, providing insight into character development and plot progression. Finally, a summarisation task challenges students to concisely recap the session's key points in no more than 50 words, testing their ability to distil information and articulate the essence of the text.
