The Last Bear - Session 3 - Word Workshop
English Resource Description
The "Word Workshop" is an engaging activity designed to enhance vocabulary skills among KS2 students. Each session prompts learners to delve into the meanings, uses, and variations of specific words. For example, students are encouraged to explore the word 'rhythm' by defining it, using it in a sentence, and then modifying it by adding prefixes, suffixes, or changing its form. They also identify synonyms and antonyms to broaden their understanding of the word's context and usage.
Another word featured in the workshop is 'familiar'. Students are tasked with describing its meaning, crafting a sentence that incorporates the word, and altering it through grammatical changes. This not only reinforces their grasp of the word but also helps them understand its opposite through antonyms. The workshop is a comprehensive tool that covers a wide range of words such as 'announce', 'tense', 'bitterly', and 'invisible', each challenging students to think critically about language and its nuances. The exercise is designed to be both educational and interactive, making the process of learning new vocabulary a dynamic experience.
