Kensuke's Kingdom - Chapter 2 - Word Workshop

The "Word Workshop" is a comprehensive exercise designed to enhance vocabulary skills, focusing on a selection of words from Chapter 2 of "Kensuke's Kingdom". Each word is explored in depth, with students being tasked to define its meaning, use it in a sentence, and modify it by adding prefixes, suffixes, changing its number or tense. Moreover, students are encouraged to think critically by identifying synonyms and antonyms, expanding their understanding of each word's context and its opposites. This exercise not only bolsters word knowledge but also develops linguistic creativity and flexibility.

Words like "heaving" and "luxury" are dissected to reveal their nuances and applications in language. Students learn how to actively engage with terms such as "idle", "escort", "element", and "annoying", transforming them through grammatical alterations and considering their broader semantic field with synonyms and antonyms. Complex words such as "regretted", "mountainous", "vividly", and "adamant" are also scrutinised, offering a rich tapestry of language for the students to weave into their own writing and speech. The workshop culminates with the exploration of words like "appeal", "shrugged", "conspiracy", "version", and "extract", rounding off a thorough linguistic journey through Chapter 2 of the text.
