The Explorer - Session 19 - Word Workshop

The KS2Gems Word Workshop is an educational resource designed to enhance vocabulary skills for students. In Session 19 of "The Explorer," students are encouraged to delve into various aspects of word usage and understanding. For each word presented, students are tasked with exploring its meanings, using it in a sentence, and modifying it through the use of prefixes, suffixes, or by changing its form. This comprehensive exercise also involves identifying synonyms and antonyms to broaden linguistic comprehension.

The workshop covers a diverse set of words, such as 'proffered', 'ferociously', 'gestured', and 'preferred', each with its unique application and modification exercises. For example, students might learn that 'proffered' can be modified to 'reproffered' by adding a prefix, and 'proffering' by changing the verb tense. They would also explore synonyms like 'offered' and antonyms like 'withheld'. This interactive approach to learning not only enriches vocabulary but also sharpens grammar skills, ensuring a well-rounded grasp of the English language.
