Kensuke's Kingdom - Chapter 6 - Word Workshop
English Resource Description
The 'Word Workshop' activity from 'Kensuke's Kingdom - Chapter 6' is an educational exercise designed to enhance vocabulary skills among KS2 students. It encourages learners to explore the meanings, usage, and variations of specific words, as well as their synonyms and antonyms. For instance, students might examine the word 'frantically', identifying its meaning, using it in a sentence, modifying it by changing its tense or form, and finding words with similar and opposite meanings. This comprehensive approach not only builds a deeper understanding of the words but also helps to improve language fluency and comprehension.
Another example from the workshop is the word 'tantalisingly', where students would again delve into its definition, incorporate it into a sentence, and play with its grammatical form. They would also brainstorm for synonyms and antonyms to broaden their lexical range. The workshop covers a variety of words, each chosen to challenge students and expand their vocabulary in a structured and interactive manner. By engaging with words such as 'hazy', 'distraught', and 'inexorably', students are equipped with a richer language palette that can be applied across different subjects and contexts.
