[English] English for the Australian Curriculum - New Resources

[Lyndall Hough]

Hi Scott,
I haven't had time to read the units yet, but I've taken a pic of the first page of one. I'm curious to know if the print on the left side is really supposed to look like that? No spacing between lines, and crammed words? Or perhaps my computer is doing strange things?
Cheers
Lyndall
(ex teacher, curriculum writer etc etc)
