Conclusion                     

Each student will reach their own conclusions about one's own work and collaborative work (small group and class group).

Participation in this work ensures that all students acquire the competence about how to represent a conceptual map on  different topics.

The students will be able to apply the information and express their ideas through the materials they produce and apply knowledge acquired during the process.

Each team contributes to improve  other students' knowledge.
