The Mummy's Curse - Session 7 - Word Workshop

The Mummy's Curse - session 7 Word Workshop is an educational activity designed to enhance vocabulary skills among KS2 students. Each session focuses on a specific word, encouraging students to explore its meaning, usage, and various linguistic modifications. For instance, students might be asked to define the word 'panic', use it in a sentence, and then modify it by adding prefixes or suffixes, changing its number or tense. They are also prompted to identify synonyms and antonyms, broadening their understanding of language and its nuances.

Further exercises within the workshop include words like 'hoarse', 'horrifying', and 'erase', each chosen to challenge students' comprehension and word manipulation skills. The workshop aims to make learning interactive by having students modify words like 'simplicity' or 'haughtily' and discuss their opposites and similar terms. This structured approach not only builds vocabulary but also enhances critical thinking and linguistic creativity, essential skills in language development. By the end of the session, students will have a deeper understanding of words such as 'rapidly', 'avoiding', and 'impossible', and how they can be contextually applied or transformed within the English language.
