Anyone ever watch “Animaniacs”? I’m sure the students won’t know it, but this is a fun (if perhaps slightly outdated) song that lists all the countries in the world. Fun and impressive!

Brief History of Australia
Abril 4th, 2011…emphasis on “brief.” I was looking on an Australia activity that I could do with all my kids as an introduction to the country, and I finally found/adapted one. I’m still working on making it into an actual activity, but I thought I’d post it here so that anyone who wanted it could adapt it for themselves.

teaching resolutions and current events
Marzo 16th, 2011Hey,
This is a worksheet to help students to think critically about current events in Japan and review resolution writing skills. I did this in conjunction with a listening comprehension activity from BBC and Reuters as well as an article and reading comprehension activity.
Set of PDFs
Marzo 10th, 2011Update: Kathleen just told us that some documents were missing. All of them are now uploaded and accessible from the link. Thanks, Kathleen!
Hi all!
As we mentioned, we have created a full set of PDFs that you can print and edit so every conference can prepare all the materials.
We attach:
- A file with the corporate image of Global Classrooms Cantabria for this year in .jpg and the same one in PDF.
- Posters in A3 with the names of the different committees. Just print them this size as they can’t be edited.
- Identifiers for the delegates. They need to be filled in with the names of the country. The space is limited so please abbreviate the name if necessary. The page comes with 4 items that need to be cut. This year, if you need Global Classrooms lanyards and plastic covers please let us know.
- Identifiers for the table. There’s a file ready for each member. Just print it in A4 and fold it. There are others that can be edited for insititutions or people you may want to add.
- A PDF –that can be edited- for making the voting rules and the rules of procedure. Please print it in A4 and fold it.
- The diplomas. Also ready to be filled in with each center (assistance) and each one awarded (conference).
I think that’s all. Besides that, those that want the letters from the General Secretary of United Nations and the President of the United Nations in order to included in their documentation, please let us know.
If you have any doubt, just tell us
Public Speaking “Don’ts” Video
Marzo 2nd, 2011This video appears to have been made by English language learners, so in spite of the English mistakes it might be good for the students to see. It shows clear examples of what not to do in a presentation (fidget, rush to fidget, leave cell phone on, etc.)

Conference Dress Code and Conduct
Febrero 27th, 2011Here are the Conference Regulations for dress and conduct. Please share this information with your students so that everyone is on the same page! Because this year’s regional conferences are to hold the same importance as the conference at the Fundación, these norms should apply to ALL regional conferences as well as the Fundación conference.
Position Paper 2011 checklist
Febrero 22nd, 2011Hi guys,
I made a checklist for the position paper. It’s pretty detailed, but feel free to modify it as you see fit. Most of this info is in the guidelines, but it’s in the format of Did you do this? and this? and this? If the answer is yes to everything, then you can submit a final draft.
There is a place for you to put your name (point 17) and email address (first bullet at the bottom).
I hope it’s helpful!
