Tombful of Trouble - Teacher Instructions

The "Tombful of Trouble" teacher instructions provide a versatile guide for educators to enhance their classroom experience with a range of ideas and activities linked to the book. The resource pack is designed to cater to the unique needs of each class, allowing teachers to select activities that best align with the abilities of their students and the subjects currently being taught. The structure of the pack is such that it offers suggestions for every chapter, but it also accommodates the use of shorter excerpts, recommending that teachers ensure the chosen activities correspond with the specific sections read to the class.

Flexibility is key within this resource, with the recommendation that activities, particularly those related to foundation subjects, can be adapted and used at different stages of the book depending on what fits best with the class's schedule and learning rhythm. Teachers are encouraged to add their own ideas to the pack to tailor the learning experience and fully engage their students. In addition to the creative suggestions, the pack includes a reference sheet for Reading Skills (RS), which links back to the objectives in the English National Curriculum, ensuring that the activities support broader educational goals. The book can be integrated into various topic overviews available on the website, including an English focus on detective stories, a history focus on Ancient Egyptians, and a science focus on materials, offering a multidisciplinary approach to learning.
