*road trip :
imagine going on long road trip with
no GPS . You have written down which
route numbers you need to take , but
you do not know in what order the turns
should be made or how long you need
to stay on each road . It probably would
not be a very successful road trip .!
Knowing the order of the turns and
how long to drive on each road would
help you reach the final destination
much more efficiently .
Essentially , in education , this is what a
curriculum map does .
