42. 42 Mapping Objectives HAPGs are frameworks for instructional planning. To plan individual lessons, objectives must first be mapped in a logical progression integrating the various TEKS strands where applicable. Maps include calendars, bi-weekly or weekly planners, or other tools recommended by your school.
