Designed for primary and middle school students in grades 3 through 6, this resource is an excellent choice for post-reading activities that reinforce key elements of the story. The novel study includes a variety of exercises aimed at deepening comprehension and encouraging creative expression.
Key components of this resource include:

Chapter Summaries: Students are guided to summarize each chapter, reinforcing their understanding of the plot and key events.
Creative Writing Activities: Two engaging writing exercises are included to spark imagination. The first invites students to imagine themselves alongside Jack and Annie, the book's protagonists, and write a postcard to a friend or family member describing their adventure. The second activity challenges them to create an alternative ending to the story, fostering critical thinking and narrative skills.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Identify the setting (where and when) of "Mummies in the Morning."
Identify and record 10 new vocabulary words encountered while reading the novel.
Summarize the events of each of the book's 10 chapters.
Write a descriptive narrative postcard from Jack or Annie's point of view, using sensory detail.
Write an alternate-ending essay explaining how different character decisions would change the story's events and message.
Teaching tips
Assign the chapter-summary blanks as an ongoing reading log, filling in one chapter at a time rather than all at once at the end of the book.
Have students keep their 10 vocabulary words in a running list as they read, so the vocabulary section is built gradually instead of all at once.
Use the postcard prompt as a lower-stakes warm-up before the longer alternate-ending essay, since the postcard is shorter and more personal in voice.
Have students share their alternate endings aloud, since the prompt itself asks them to be ready to discuss how the changes affect the reader's understanding of the story.
Skills covered
Setting identification — students answer where and when the story takes place.
Vocabulary acquisition — students identify and record 10 new words encountered in the text.
Chapter summarization — students recount the key events of each of the book's 10 chapters in sequence.

Cause-and-effect narrative reasoning — students write an alternate-ending essay explaining how different character decisions change the story's outcome and message.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Is the alternate-ending task just a retelling, or does it ask for analysis too?
It asks for both — students write the new ending in detail and then explain how it changes the story's overall message, themes, and character development, not just what happens differently.
