Where's My Mummy By Carolyn Crimi

Decent Essays
Hi Mrs. Nation,

Attached you will find my rough draft for the lesson we discussed me possible teaching. IT IS OBNOXIOUSLY LONG! Please don't feel like you need to read all of it. Here is the gist...

The book is "Where's My Mummy" by Carolyn Crimi. I will have a copy with me on Tuesday if you want to see it.
I would read the book first. Right now my plan is to use voices, act out a few of the characters, and provide a snack during reading. However, when we workshop my lesson at Gordon I imagine many will suggest it is a classroom management disaster. So this may change :)

For a writing activity to go along with the reading they would write about a time they were lost or scared and what made them feel better. They would also add a reaction.

    In “Behind the Beautiful Forevers” Katherine Boo argues that societies are becoming corrupt because of capitalism’s prevalence in modern societies. Capitalism is creating an economy where products and profits are owned by companies and individuals instead of the government. ("Capitalism" Merriam Webster) Having profits owned by individuals drive owners to create inequitable systems that take advantage of lower class citizens. The systems drive the lower class to compete against one another to create a small profit, that will soon be taken away by the individuals or companies that “own” the profit created by the system.…

    “It is not easy for those who have had happier childhoods, with little restraint or fear in them, to face up to the truth of this childhood of Richard Wright.” After Richard Wright published his autobiography, a critic said people with easier childhoods could not fathom what a childhood like Wright's would be like. This statement is wrong and unfair. There is no way someone could know exactly what a harsh childhood is like if they did not have one. One can imagine, even if they have never experienced something for themselves.…

    Mahpiya Vanderbilt Archaeology 1 Bauer Mummies Ancient Egypt has become synonymous with mummies. The elaborate burials and preservation of the bodies is a defining factor of their culture. The word mummy comes from the Persian word mummia which means bitumen. The term was used in the middle ages to the embalmed bodies because of their blackened appearance of the skin, mistakenly thought to have been caused by the use of bitumen in their preservation when in actuality, the blackened appearance is a side-effect of the application of resin (Taylor ??) Mummification was a key aspect of ancient Egyptian culture and was important to the reification and acceptance of the New Kingdom royalty.…

    Amos Tutuola’s My Life in the Bush of Ghosts follows outlandish episodic tales and a character stuck in the middle of a nightmare. Many of the horrid stories the author describes reflect the negative consequences of British colonization in Nigeria. However, Tutuola describes the dream-like 10th Town of Ghosts, a flourishing city in which his character prospers. Tutuola juxtaposes the 10th Town of Ghosts amongst other frightening cities in the Bush of Ghosts to reflect an accommodating view of British colonization in Nigeria.…
