The Wreck of the Zanzibar - Session 6 - Word Workshop

The "Wreck of the Zanzibar" session 6 Word Workshop is an educational resource designed to enhance vocabulary skills. In this workshop, students are tasked with exploring various words, their meanings, and their usage in sentences. They are also encouraged to modify words by adding prefixes or suffixes, changing the verb tense, or altering the word to its plural or singular form. Additionally, students are asked to identify synonyms – words that have similar meanings – and antonyms – words that have opposite meanings. This exercise not only helps in expanding a student's vocabulary but also in understanding the nuances of the English language.

Words such as 'omen', 'superstitious', 'gainsaid', 'tempt', 'founder', 'wallowed', 'capsized', 'seething', 'obey', 'thunderous', 'anxiety', 'yearning', 'staggered', 'bellowed', 'agony', 'violently', 'surged', and 'churned' are included in the workshop. Each word is to be examined for its class, such as noun, verb, or adjective, and used contextually in a sentence. This methodical approach not only aids in vocabulary retention but also in developing a deeper understanding of how these words contribute to the richness of language and can be used effectively in both written and spoken communication.
