Crafting Clarity: Your Project's Blueprint

Behind every great website is a well-thought-out structure. The same is true for thinking. Organizing ideas helps learners connect, extend, and deepen understanding.

Define Connect Generate-Sort-Connect-Elaborate 

Using the Generate–Sort–Connect–Elaborate strategy, this site organizes its content into clear pages:
