                       Have you ever heard the curriculum ?
                 The curriculum is very important to teach student because it is plan in each day for teacher's teaching. I have read the one book about the primary curriculum box it is interested for me. Primary Curriculum Box is a resource book of materials and activities for pupils aged between six/seven and eleven/twelve. The book is divided into five curriculum subjects. There subjects are Science, The Environment, Math, Arts (art and drama) and Literacy. This book includes more than 50 activities to help teachers develop pupils’ knowledge of content and language. All activities have teachers’ note with ideas for follow –up activities for future practice. I am interested this book and the many way in this.
                This book described the CLTL and it is Content and Language Integrated Learning, is teaching contexts in which subject content is taught through another language. The curriculum materials are progress in difficulty, both in terms of content, concepts and language level. The activities in Primary Curriculum Box are suitable for use with pupils who are learning other curriculum subjects in English. The activities have been designed to develop knowledge of subject vocabulary and language forms.
        Who is Primary Curriculum Box for?
        There are teacher and learner. For teacher is suitable for primary teachers of English or teacher who teach curriculum subjects through English on content-based program. So, teacher needs to help learners move from lower thinking skills to higher thinking skills.  And, learners are suitable for three age groups, for pupils aged between six and twelve.
        Primary Curriculum Box is the one way to improve teachers’ teacher. It is important to use the target language to encourage and support the wok of individual pupils. These are suitable for use with pupils. The activities can supplement course books or provide stand-alone curriculum lesson. It can improve the vocabulary, knowledge, language or skills to learners.
