ASSIGNMENT• Create a similar model for your assigned country
and prepare to present it in the next class in no more than 5 minutes
• You may use the Kenyan model and apply the Analysis Elements to your own country exactly as they are done here
• You may also develop your own graphical model to make the same representations if you prefer, but the emphasis is on the elements, not their presentation
