Brightstorm - Session 15 - Word Workshop

The Brightstorm - Session 15 - Word Workshop is an engaging educational tool designed by KS2Gems in 2021 to enhance vocabulary skills among students. This comprehensive workshop provides a structured approach to learning new words, understanding their meanings, and applying them in various contexts. Each session invites students to explore a specific word, its class, synonyms, and antonyms. They are encouraged to use the word in a sentence and modify it by adding prefixes, suffixes, changing the tense, or altering its number. This methodical approach not only enriches the students' vocabulary but also deepens their grasp of the English language.

The workshop covers an array of words, each with unique exercises that prompt learners to think critically about language use. For instance, students might investigate the word 'absolute' and learn to modify it into 'absolutely' or discover its antonyms and synonyms. Similarly, they can explore 'edible', transform it into 'inedible' by adding a prefix, and discuss its opposite meanings. By engaging with words like 'anticipation', 'declared', and 'lurked', among others, students enhance their linguistic abilities in a fun and interactive manner. The Word Workshop's structured format is an excellent way for students to build a robust vocabulary and develop a love for words.
