The curse of Tutankhamun- create murder mystery drama or puppet show

A series of lessons based around the mystery of Tutankhamun. It has been altered to add the idea of creating a puppet show in light of more class room based work. This was written originally for a weak year 9 class, but has been adapted and taught to year 7, more able year 9 and used by year 10/11 to devise TIE performances.

There are 4 main lessons/ starting points , which can easily be extended into further lessons. In its current form the intention is to teach 1 hour lessons , and give students the opportunity to extend the starting points to create an assessment piece.
It has been altered to add the idea of creating a puppet show in light of more class room based work. Templates for puppet ideas are included in the powerpoints as well as information sheets that I have found useful when not teaching in a room with power point access. I have previously created simple puppet stages using tables and stage blocks, which I feel will work well as we experiment with social distancing.
