12.15.08 - 12.19.08 / Miguel Herrero

Hi all! First, gracias Kelsey for putting this blog together. It looks sweet. So my kids have been working on understanding the rules of procedure through doing mock debates in class. I am in the process of distilling this Model UN Glossary into basic terms for them to have a cheat sheet to learn from. Also, I have made a Speech Outline for them to fill out and this is what we used in our last debate of the semester. My goal for the first few weeks of January is to go over the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (plain language version) and begin writing our position papers. We have yet to go over over the resolution vocab.

Enjoy the holidays! I hope we can all meet up and check on our progress in January.

Olivia
