The Mummy's Curse - Session 17 - Prediction

The Mummy's Curse, an engaging session for KS2 students, reaches an intriguing juncture in session 17, where anticipation builds around the character of Professor Lorenz. This session is designed to stimulate the students' imagination and encourage them to make predictions about the storyline. They are prompted to ponder over the possible dialogue or actions of Professor Lorenz, a key figure in the narrative. This activity not only enhances their engagement with the story but also develops their inferential skills, as they must use clues from the text and their understanding of the characters to make informed guesses about the forthcoming events.

As part of the exercise, students are given space to record their predictions, allowing them to actively participate in the storytelling process. This serves as a personal touchpoint where they can document their thoughts and see how their predictions align with the story as it unfolds. The anticipation of what Professor Lorenz might say next adds an element of suspense and provides a platform for creative thinking. This session is an excellent opportunity for students to delve deeper into the plot and characters, enhancing their analytical abilities and fostering a love for literature.
