Tom's Midnight Garden - Chapters 15, 16 and 17 - Word Workshop

The "Tom's Midnight Garden Chapter 15, 16 and 17 WORD WORKSHOP" is an educational activity designed to enrich vocabulary for students. The workshop involves various tasks such as understanding the meanings of words, using them in sentences, modifying them through grammatical changes, and identifying synonyms and antonyms. For instance, the word "perceived" might be explored for its meaning, used in a context like "Tom perceived a strange shadow in the garden," and then modified to "misperceived" or "perceiving". Synonyms like "noticed" or "detected" would be listed, alongside antonyms such as "ignored" or "overlooked".

Another example from the workshop is the word "deserted". Students would learn that it describes a place that is empty or abandoned. They could use it in a sentence such as, "The once lively playground now stood deserted." Modifications might include "deserts" or "deserting", with synonyms like "abandoned" or "forsaken" and antonyms such as "inhabited" or "crowded". This comprehensive approach to vocabulary building not only enhances word knowledge but also encourages critical thinking about language use.
