Curriculum Bank is a practical activity-based series which can be used as a planning tool to help devise a comprehensive scheme of work, and as an easily accessible bank of ideas. The lesson plans target specific learning objectives and collectively provide a progressive coverage of the programmes of study. Lively photocopiable worksheets support many of the activities and save valuable teacher time. Guidance for differentiation and formative assessment is incorporated throughout, with specific assessment lessons for summative purposes also included. IT applications and other cross-curricular links are highlighted, as are ideas for display. The practical activities included in this book break down the Speaking and Listening section of the English Programme of Study for Key Stage 2 into progressive "learning chunks", and are also suitable for Scottish Levels C-E. They provide a variety of contexts in which children can practice particular key skills, respond to different audiences and use appropriate language. Each chapter contains a specific summative assessment activity.
