Are you looking to create a clear, concise and effective assessment criteria for your KS2 Drama curriculum? If so, this resource pack will provide you with the perfect framework you need to offer structure and direction for both you and your pupils.
Included in this resource pack is the following:
Assessment framework for Years 3-6 (adaptable, depending on which year groups you teach and when pupils start Drama).
Drama workbooks for Years 5 and 6. Differentiated for specific year groups and editable, depending on the year groups you teach.
The assessment framework can also be used as a target-setting tool, where pupils termly or half-termly use their workbooks to review their progress and to offer another level of inter-activity, they can use a passport-sized photo to move around the framework display board (preferably on show in each classroom) as and when they achieve each set target.
