the very first lesson the student did everything...taxied, tookoff, climbed, straight and level, turns, descent and landing.
I agree with other posters - the above isn't appropriate and is not a building block technique and is often used at FAA schools which is one of the biggest downfalls of the FAA system where they through you into steep turns and landings straight away.
Under the JAA/EASA AOPA suggested syllabus climbing and descending is the 3/4th flight, landing would be around 10 flights in.
Each step leading up to the landing so that when the landing is complete it should be an easy process as the fundamentals are in place.
