Lesson 7 Discussion

Team 3: United States Business Leader, Laborer and Government Leader (president/legislative member)

Part 1: Although you are all responsible for your own posts, I randomly separated the class into three groups (teams) to focus our discussions and ensure deeper participation into the specific country's perspective on NAFTA.  Please follow the sequence below to stay organized with your research and contributions.  POST YOUR SUBMISSION IN THE DISCUSSION BOARD ASSIGNED TO LESSON 7 (Not your team's board). Title your post - Your Country and your name 

Begin by reading chapters 14 and 15 of the textbook, and the  North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)  Links to an external site. .

Part 2:  Then each complete an analysis using the following facts pattern:

CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING: Free trade among these nations have both pros and cons. Imagine that you represent the country assigned to you by your professor, and then speculate about both the positive and negative effects that NAFTA may have on the country you are assigned from the perspectives of the individuals listed (business leader, laborer, government); share your speculations with the class. Be sure to include the following in your post:

1. Provide information about the benefits of free trade to ALL countries involved (this can be a table)

2. From the perspectives of the country and parties I assigned you to: Discuss what the drawbacks are of free trade – provide specific examples supported by researchable data,

3. Respond to 2 classmates (1 person from your same team AND another person from another team

From the perspective of the country and parties I assigned you to: Discuss what your predictions and recommendations are for the future of NAFTA.

 

 

When replying to your classmates' posts:

Read your classmate's post and reply to no less than two of your classmates and a question. 

Your question should be one of the following three types:

· Clarification Based: This kind of question helps the writer by asking your peer to clarify points that you think could be more fully explained.  

· Evidence question - When a writer states something as fact rather than personal opinion, your peers argument is stronger if they cite evidence that the fact is true. Facts can be evidenced, in approximate order of strongest evidence to weakest, (1) by citing trustworthy data, (2) by citing the opinions of experts, (3) by citing repeatable personal experience, or (4) by citing common opinion. This kind of question helps the writer by asking for evidence if the student states something as fact but doesn't cite evidence.

· Hypothetical question - This kind of question helps the writer by asking your peer to test their argument by applying it to a situation that you specify. 

Please note that a discussion is an exchange. Participate regularly and solicit feedback from your peers.
