I let my students gravitate to their own style then help them hone that. I show and explain that all of them will fly logos around, no matter what they end up doing, so we cover layering and key framing. Others, like your students already come in with templates they have already downloaded for after effects and simply want me to show them through the project so they understand it and can start swapping elements and tweak effects to their liking.
I Only write curriculums when a college requires it, with them understanding I have no plan whatsoever to adhere to it. My classes are organic so students learn what they are most interested in.
