Text Box: Death of Tutankhamun

 

 

 

 

 

 

Essentially a poem that takes half a day to read! Yet children love it, becoming totally immersed in the genre. Great for crystallising your current learning. This exciting half day of acting which can either be repeated or followed by creative writing.

 

Based on research this tells the story of Tutankhamun’s murder with the pupils being magically transported to the time to act as his friends and supporters. Playing slaves, grave robbers and rich traders along the way to the finale where they escort their king to the land of the dead.

 

Incorporates storytelling based on myth which leads to writing opportunities.

 

The book of Death of Tutankhamun is currently seeking a publisher
