The Falcon's Malteser - Session 4 - Word Workshop

The Falcon’s Malteser - session 4 offers a comprehensive WORD WORKSHOP that provides an engaging way for students to explore vocabulary. The workshop is structured to enhance understanding of word meanings and usage, and to expand the students' lexicon. Each word is examined through its definition, use in context, and modification by adding prefixes, suffixes, or altering its form. Synonyms and antonyms are also explored to deepen comprehension and contrast meanings. For example, the word 'interrogation' might be used in a sentence to describe a scene where a detective questions a suspect. It can be modified into 'interrogations' for the plural form, and synonyms could include 'questioning' or 'inquiry', while an antonym might be 'answer'.

Similarly, words like 'soothingly', 'involved', 'quivered', 'lumbered', 'brutality', 'whimpered', 'observation', 'conceal', 'blurt', 'adviser', 'protection', 'vague', 'released', and 'collapsed' are dissected to understand their nuances and applications. The workshop encourages students to actively engage with language, fostering their ability to articulate ideas precisely and creatively. For instance, 'soothingly' could be modified to 'soothes' when changing the verb tense, with synonyms such as 'calmingly' and antonyms like 'agitatingly'. This word workshop is an essential tool for developing strong communication skills in students.
