Structure Constructing a lesson plan is a familiar exercise for teachers. A project map is similar to a lesson plan, but it reflects the extended nature of projects and the need to structure the project.
Direction and Support A map helps you identify the requisite skills that your students need to perform, develop the timeline for the project, and gather resources to support critical learning activities in the project.
