ABSTRACT
The work began by exploring what the children knew of the story of Tutankhamun: his life, death and burial; the discovery of his tomb by Howard Carter; stories of the ‘curse’. They discussed the events surrounding the death of Lord Carnarvon and made still images to represent photographs that might have appeared on the front page of the papers at the time. To these images they added ‘headlines’ – sensational representations of the story – all of which alluded to ‘the curse’.
