Step-by-Step Guide for Your Conceptual Model

Step 1: Choose Your Topic

• Pick a topic that involves advocacy or action relevant to your county or state.
  Examples:

  • Public health initiatives (e.g., vaccination campaigns in Los Angeles County).

  • Environmental advocacy (e.g., clean water programs in Cook County, IL).

  • Education initiatives (e.g., literacy programs in Miami-Dade County).

---

Step 2: Identify Key Concepts (Nodes)

• Identify 8–10 key concepts that relate to advocacy or action in your topic.
  Example for environmental advocacy:

  1. Community Awareness

  2. Local Policies

  3. Funding Sources

  4. Volunteer Programs

  5. Partnerships

  6. Outreach Campaigns

  7. Education Programs

  8. Impact Evaluation

Step 3: Decide Relationships

• Determine how nodes relate to each other. Use arrows, lines, or shapes to indicate direction or hierarchy.
  Examples of relationships:

  • Arrows for “leads to” or “supports”

  • Lines for “connected to”

  • Group nodes inside larger shapes to indicate subtopics

---

Step 4: Design Layout

• Use PPT or Word SmartArt / Shapes for clarity.

• Center the main topic node and arrange related nodes around it.

• Use consistent shapes: circles for actions, squares for stakeholders, diamonds for decision points.

• Use colors strategically to differentiate categories or show hierarchy.

---

Step 5: Add Title and Labels

• Title example: “Advocacy Actions for Clean Water in Cook County, IL”.

• Keep text in nodes short: 1–3 words max.

• Avoid long sentences; use keywords only.

---

Step 6: Review for Rubric Alignment

• High-level overview: No paragraphs, only keywords.

• Node clarity: Each node clearly represents a concept/action.

• Relationships: Direction or shape indicates action or connection.

• Visual balance: Even spacing, consistent shapes, readable font size.

• Completeness: 8–10 nodes covering advocacy/action.

---

Step 7: Optional Enhancements

• Add icons or small graphics for visual cues (e.g., dollar sign for funding, megaphone for outreach).

• Use bold or contrasting colors for key nodes.

• Include a legend if needed to explain shapes/colors.
