I think if you are in doubt, read a book table of contents/format on the subject. That will give you a good order to base your lesson on. I have taught individuals to quilt (not a class). It helps you to remember the things that newbies need to learn. I am thinking that it is a beginning class, and the information sheet should include pictures of the hard to remember, small but important things. Hand piecing does use different thread and often templets are marked, which is what you use to make sure your stitches are lined up right.
I think if you make up your project first, that it will be a good help to you and your students. I like to see a large scale diagram on a storyboard. It helps me a lot.
