The Mummy's Curse - Session 16 - Hopes and Fears

In "The Mummy's Curse," session 16, students are invited to delve into the character of Konstantin, exploring his emotional landscape as he encounters Arthur John Priest and embarks on a journey through time. The activity is structured to encourage reflection and analysis, prompting students to fill in Konstantin's hopes and fears in these two pivotal moments of the narrative. When meeting Arthur John Priest, students are asked to consider what aspirations and positive outcomes Konstantin might anticipate, as well as the anxieties and negative possibilities that could be preoccupying his thoughts.

The second part of the exercise shifts focus to Konstantin's time travel experience. Here, students must again ponder the dual aspects of hope and fear. They are encouraged to think about what Konstantin might hope to achieve or discover as he travels back in time, alongside the potential fears that could accompany such an extraordinary and uncertain adventure. This introspective task is designed not only to deepen understanding of Konstantin's character but also to engage students with the broader themes of hope and fear that resonate throughout human experiences and storytelling.
