Curriculum map templates and lesson plan templates can seem incredibly tedious to new teachers, however the practice of including all of the components of a successful lesson (or curriculum map) is beneficial in many ways. While I would never take the time to write out a lesson plan with that level of detail at this point in my career, I know that I do include those basic elements in each lesson as it has become a habit for me (and I know it's an effective way to engage students!).
