On a blank sheet of paper, please do the following: Write the question number in the upper-left corner and circle it. Logically arrange ALL the terms below into a process map.

NOTE: If an abbreviation is given in the table below, you MUST spell out what that abbreviation means in your map. You CAN use terms from the table below more than once if that helps you to construct a logical process map. You CAN insert extra terms if they help you complete this map, but just make sure they are used correctly!  Make sure to place a few LINKING or ACTION WORDS next to ALL ARROWS to indicate your understanding of how one term leads to the next.  Remember that your process map should be a complete story that reads like a long run-on sentence.
