Opening Build up Problem

Resolution Ending

We can do this one together. The story starts with me

digging in the Valley of the Kings, trying to find an

undiscovered tomb.

What is going to happen? Do you find the tomb straight away or does it take ages?

If you do find it, what do you do next- open it or leave it

shut?

What is the problem you face?

Is the tomb filled with traps to stop people entering? Is the tomb completely empty? Is the door sealed too tight?

How are you going to solve the problem?

How do you get past the traps? What happened to all the missing items? How do

you open the door?

How does the story end?

Is it a happy ending? A cliff-hanger? A bad ending?
