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

1. Identify Key Concepts: Identify the central concepts related to NAFTA and USMCA. These may include economic implications, benefits, challenges, and involved nations.
2. Create Main Nodes: Establish central nodes for broad categories, such as "Economic Implications," "Benefits," and "Challenges." These will serve as the primary branches of your conceptual map.
3. Expand with Sub-Nodes: Under each primary 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."
4. 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.
5. Include Real-Life Examples: Incorporate real-life examples and case studies to support your concepts. For instance, you can link "NAFTA Case Studies" nodes to relevant concepts.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Review and Refine: Review your conceptual map, ensuring it accurately represents the relationships between concepts. Adjust as needed to enhance clarity and coherence.
10. 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.
11. Topic submission: Submit your conceptual map digitally, ensuring it communicates the relationships and concepts related to NAFTA and USMCA. Include at least three academic sources, formatted and cited in APA.
