The Iron Man - Chapter 1 - Word Workshop

The 'Word Workshop' is a comprehensive activity designed to enhance vocabulary skills amongst KS2 students, focusing on words from 'The Iron Man - Chapter 1'. For each word, students are tasked with understanding its meaning, using it in a sentence, and exploring its linguistic variations by adding prefixes, suffixes, or changing its form. Additionally, they are encouraged to identify synonyms and antonyms to broaden their understanding of the word's usage and its opposites. Words such as 'brink', 'silent', 'glided', and 'peering' are some examples under scrutiny in this workshop, each serving as a focal point for linguistic exploration and development.

Further words like 'awkward', 'craned', 'gleefully', 'jabbed', 'scuttling', 'torso', 'immense', and 'hollow' are also included in the workshop, offering a diverse range of vocabulary that students can delve into. The activity aims to provide a structured approach to vocabulary building, where students can examine the grammatical category of each word, understand its contextual meaning, and creatively modify it. This not only aids in improving their language skills but also prepares them to effectively comprehend and engage with the literature they are studying.
