Letters from the Lighthouse - Session 12 - Word Workshop

The "Letters from the Lighthouse - Session 12 - Word Workshop" is an engaging educational resource designed to enrich the vocabulary of KS2 students. Each worksheet prompts learners to explore a specific word in depth, considering its meaning, usage in sentences, modifications, synonyms, and antonyms. For example, students may be asked to take the word 'tempted' and not only use it in a sentence but also to modify it by adding prefixes, suffixes, or changing its form. They would also brainstorm synonyms such as 'enticed', and antonyms like 'deterred', to build a comprehensive understanding of the word and its context.

Another word featured in the workshop is 'instructed'. Pupils would examine its meaning and create their own sentences using the word. They might also modify the word to 'instructing' or 'instruction' and discuss synonyms like 'directed' or antonyms such as 'misled'. The workshop covers a variety of words including 'torture', 'chaotic', 'joyful', and 'hurling', each providing a unique opportunity for students to delve into the language and expand their lexical repertoire. Words like 'convinced', 'faintly', and 'impatiently' are also dissected for a deeper understanding. The workshop is designed to enhance students' language skills, promote critical thinking, and foster a love for words.
