Remember...
Your curriculum map reflects
what actually occurs in your
classroom
Reality is messy
May not be a pretty
document
Thats ok!
Some Guidelines...
Include enough specifics to
make the map useful (so it
tells you something upon
reflection)
Use specific vocabulary vs.
vague/generic terms
Some Guidelines...
Dont write too much!
No need to write out objectives
or complete activities
