When terms feel disconnected, draw a few links and label why they connect. The map need not be pretty; it should help you explain how one idea affects another.

STORY & REFLECTION
One Elephant, Several Pieces
The Blind Men and the Elephant · a published tale
In a published tale, several blind men touch an elephant for the first time. Each touches a different part and describes the same animal in a different way.
As they argue, they forget that each account holds only a piece. This is a fable, not a claim about the abilities of blind people.
A lesson can feel similar. A definition, formula, and example may each be correct, yet without their connections you may not know when to use them.
Draw five key terms and label how each relates to another. If you cannot explain a link, revisit it before adding more terms.
