Tombful of Trouble - Session 2 - Word Workshop

The "Tombful of Trouble - Session 2 - Word Workshop" is an educational activity designed to enhance vocabulary skills for KS2 students. In this workshop, students are given a range of words to explore in depth. For each word, they are asked to provide its meaning(s), use it in a sentence, and modify it by adding prefixes, suffixes, changing its form, or altering its tense. Additionally, they are encouraged to think critically about language by identifying synonyms—words with similar meanings—and antonyms—words with opposite meanings.

This comprehensive approach not only aids in expanding the students' vocabulary but also deepens their understanding of word classes and the nuances of the English language. Words such as 'symmetrical', 'minimalistic', 'frustrating', 'fascinating', and 'pilfering' are among the many terms that students will engage with. By modifying these words and exploring their synonyms and antonyms, students will develop a more robust lexicon and become more adept at using these words in various contexts. The workshop is designed to be interactive and thought-provoking, ensuring that learning is both effective and enjoyable.
