1. Course outline

●
Use the following table to organize the topics to be taught in the course. If you need to include topics that cover other requirements you have to teach (for example, national syllabus), make sure that you do so
in an integrated way, but also differentiate them using italics. Add as many rows as you need.
This document should not be a day-by-day accounting of each unit. It is an outline showing how you will distribute the topics and the time to ensure that students are prepared to comply with the requirements
of the subject.
This outline should show how you will develop the teaching of the subject. It should reflect the individual nature of the course in your classroom and should not just be a “copy and paste” from the subject
guide.
If you will teach both higher and standard level, make sure that this is clearly identified in your outline.
