13. DECONSTRUCTING A STANDARDAs a team, choose one of the standards on your Tree Map and deconstruct it. Try to think of all of the maps you might need to teach that standard. Use the suggestions identified in Chapter 4 to help you connect the Thinking Maps to your content. If time permits, put the actual content in the maps. Draw the maps on the same sheet with the standards.
