I would start with the VE and introduce diffs and wikitext at the end of
the class as advanced stuff.
Understanding a wikitext diff is much easier than editing wikitext

I've considered it; and decided not to.
For one thing, when a new user sees a diff, either via a link on a
talk page, an article's history, a user's contributions, or their own
watchlist they are exposed to Wikicode, and so need a basic
understanding of how it works.
