Tombful of Trouble - Session 6 - Word Workshop

The 'Tombful of Trouble - session 6 WORD WORKSHOP' is an engaging educational activity designed to enhance vocabulary skills among KS2 students. This workshop offers a structured approach to understanding and using new words in various contexts. Each session prompts learners to explore a particular word's meaning, use it in a sentence, and creatively modify it through prefixes, suffixes, or by changing its form. Additionally, students are encouraged to think critically about language by identifying synonyms and antonyms, deepening their comprehension of each word's usage and its relationship with other words.

For example, students might examine the word 'stupefied', determining its class, modifying it to 'stupefying' or 'stupefaction', and listing synonyms such as 'astonished' or 'shocked', as well as antonyms like 'enlightened' or 'aware'. This methodical exploration of language not only builds vocabulary but also enhances students' grasp of English grammar and its nuances. By participating in the WORD WORKSHOP, students become more adept at expressing themselves clearly and understanding the richness of the English language.
