Brightstorm - Session 5 - Word Workshop

The "Brightstorm - Session 5 - Word Workshop" is an educational resource created by KS2Gems in 2021, designed to enhance vocabulary skills for students. This workshop provides a structured approach to learning new words, their meanings, and usage in the English language. Each session prompts students to explore a specific word by defining it, using it in a sentence, and experimenting with its forms through modification. Additionally, learners are encouraged to identify synonyms and antonyms to broaden their understanding of each word's context and its opposites.

The Word Workshop is interactive and encourages critical thinking, as students must engage with each word on multiple levels. They are tasked with classifying the word into its correct word class, such as noun, verb, adjective, etc. This multifaceted approach to word study aids in the development of a more nuanced grasp of language, which is essential for effective communication and comprehension. By the end of the workshop, students should have a richer vocabulary, a better understanding of word forms, and the ability to discern subtle differences in meaning.
