Brightstorm - Session 17 - Word Workshop

The Brightstorm Session 17 Word Workshop is an educational exercise designed to enhance vocabulary skills among KS2 students. It presents a structured approach where students explore various aspects of a word, including its meaning(s), usage in sentences, and modifications through prefixes, suffixes, or verb tense changes. Additionally, the workshop encourages learners to think about synonyms and antonyms, further deepening their understanding of the English language.

Each word is dissected to identify its word class, providing a comprehensive linguistic analysis. For example, students might explore the word 'relentless', examining its meaning, using it in context, and finding both its synonyms, such as 'unyielding', and antonyms, such as 'yielding'. Through this methodical process, the workshop aims to build a robust vocabulary foundation, critical for effective communication and comprehension in both written and verbal forms. The Word Workshop is an invaluable tool for fostering language development and encouraging a love for words among young learners.
