2. Describing the class
Early years – foundation to year 2, is consisted of unit of works that also look outwards
from the natural world to an engagement with the English Literacy through literature and
language. In this, there are various learning areas such that Geography, science and mathematics.
I am studying as an MBA student and the scope of language as per the Australian
Curriculum is such that there is a wide scope of learning languages in addition to English that
extends student's literacy aggregation and their capacity in order to communicate. Further, it also
strengthen as the student's in order to understand the nature of languages, culture and the process
of communication as well. For this particular lesson plan, I chooses character language such that
this language are those, whose writing system is either syllabic, ideographic and may be the
combination of a syllabus which further involve different reading process as the unit itself
consist of reading. This language also help to learn new script as well (Asselin, 2018). Apart
from this, I used Roman Alphabet Language well it is so because these are those languages
whose writing system or being visually recorded is Roman Alphabet and whose reading demand
of the learners are also similar to the English as well.
Apart from this, the range of students who reading the achievement as per the Australian
Curriculum is such that the foundation stage of this learning plan is to focus on the main
curriculum areas such that English, Mathematics, Science and geography. Therefore, these areas
have all standard at foundation and even at the time of early years of schooling, only scroll may
choose to structure teaching and some learning programs that is around the Victorian Early Years
Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF).
