Teacher's Note: Often when teaching EAL concepts, one single area of the curriculum will not be taught alone. These concepts and ideas will overlap.
This overview is just one example of how the curriculum may be covered and sequenced throughout the year and is best used as a guide or as a way
to set an EAL learning focus for each week. Many of these content descriptions will be covered multiple times and in multiple ways throughout the
school year. Don’t be afraid to swap and shuffle things as you see fit.
