sentences:  In his text "Curriculum as Conversation", Applebee (1996) states that a "curriculum provides domains for conversation, and the conversations that take place within those domains are the primary means for teaching and learning.Through such conversations, students will be helped to enter into culturally significant traditions of knowledge-in-action" (p. 37).When looking at Applebee's (1996) ideas of "knowledge-in-action" and social learning, a connection with Hyerle's Thinking Maps is apparent.
