The Secret of Platform 13 - Session 6 - Word Workshop
English Resource Description
The Secret of Platform 13 - session 6 WORD WORKSHOP is a comprehensive educational tool designed to enhance vocabulary and language skills among KS2 students. Through this workshop, students are encouraged to delve into the meanings of various words, their usage in sentences, and the exploration of their modified forms. They are tasked with adding prefixes or suffixes, changing the word to its plural or singular form, or altering the verb tense to understand the flexibility of language.
Additionally, the workshop prompts learners to identify synonyms and antonyms, fostering a deeper understanding of word relationships and nuances in meaning. By engaging with words such as 'admittance', 'preen', and 'smuggled', and modifying them into forms like 'non-admittance', 'preening', or 'smuggler', students gain insight into word classes and the dynamic nature of English vocabulary. The workshop aids in building a robust lexicon, critical for effective communication and comprehension in both written and spoken English.
