Worksheets overview
Bright Ideas Starter provides a great variety of fun
and engaging worksheets that are ideally suited to
supplementing the Class Book lessons.
For Lessons 1, 5 and 9, the teacher’s notes in the Teacher’s
Guide will provide suggestions on how to supplement
the Class Book page with further activities, for example:
flashcards and storycards.
For Lessons 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8, there are worksheets
provided for Units 1–6.
This is a brief overview of the function of each worksheet:
• Lesson 2: Vocabulary 1 practice
• Lesson 3: Song worksheet
• Lesson 4: Grammar 1 practice
• Lesson 6: Vocabulary 2 practice
• Lesson 7: Grammar 2 practice
• Lesson 8: Cross-curricular worksheet
There are also four festival worksheets.

Tests overview
The evaluation section of Bright Ideas Starter contains
materials that will help you to evaluate what your
students have learned.
From the beginning of Primary education, evaluation
should be integrated into the teaching–learning process.
In Bright Ideas Starter, there are two types of evaluation:

Summative tests
There are six unit tests, three review tests (for use after
Units 2, 4 and 6) and one end of year test (for use after
Unit 6).
The tests reflect the target language of the course and
the types of activities that the students do in class. You
will find the transcripts, marking scheme and answers to
all activities in the pages that follow.
In addition, marking grids are provided so that you
may easily record test results and keep a record of
each student’s strengths and/or areas for improvement
throughout the year.

Self-evaluation activities
Students are invited to reflect on their efforts at the end
of the unit or specific tasks by colouring Sock according
to their own evaluation: fantastic, good, or OK. It is a
gentle introduction to the concept of self-evaluation –
a key part of the learning process. It is important that
the students realize that when they are evaluating
themselves, they are not being tested.
