This activity aims to visually represent and organize key concepts related to the North American Free Trade Agreement $($NAFTA$)$ and its evolution into the United States$-$Mexico$-$Canada Agreement $($USMCA$).$ You will create a conceptual map that will help you grasp the interconnected elements, understand the economic implications, and identify the benefits and challenges of this regional economic integration steps.

Identify Key Concepts: Begin by identifying the central concepts related to NAFTA and USMCA. These may include economic implications, benefits, challenges, and involved nations.

Create Main Nodes: Establish main nodes for broad categories, such as "Economic Implications," "Benefits," and "Challenges." These will serve as the primary branches of your conceptual map.

Expand with Sub$-$Nodes: Under each main node, add sub$-$nodes for more specific concepts. For instance, under "Economic Implications," you can have sub$-$nodes like "Trade Impact," "Labor Market Changes," and "Intellectual Property Considerations."

Connect Concepts: Use lines or arrows to connect related concepts. This helps illustrate the relationships between different elements, fostering a better understanding of how they interact.

Include Real$-$Life Examples: Incorporate real$-$life examples and case studies to support your concepts. For instance, you can link nodes for "NAFTA Case Studies" to relevant concepts.

Utilize Measurable Verbs: Integrate measurable verbs from the discussion module to enrich your conceptual map further. For example, use "Evaluate" and "Assess" as nodes to prompt critical analysis.

Visual Elements: Enhance your conceptual map with visual elements. Use different colors, shapes, or icons to distinguish between nodes and create a visually engaging map.

Add Contextual Information: Provide brief descriptions of key points for each concept to ensure clarity. This will serve as a reference when reviewing or presenting your conceptual map.

Review and Refine: Take time to review your conceptual map, ensuring that it accurately represents the relationships between concepts. Adjust as needed to enhance clarity and coherence.

Share and Discuss: Share your conceptual map with your peers or colleagues. Discuss the map to gain additional insights and perspectives on the NAFTA$/$USMCA$.$

Topic submission: Submit your conceptual map digitally, ensuring that it communicates the relationships and concepts related to NAFTA and USMCA.
