Febrero 22nd, 2010Country info sheet
Febrero 22nd, 2010hello!
Here´s the country note taking sheet that I made, based on the model that Matt uploaded to the blog. I followed the lis of countries Maria gave us, using the same country names, which I don´t think are official. It´s basic, but I don´t think we need anything else.
Happy conference preparations!

Formal Debate Speech Guide
Febrero 4th, 2010Here’s the outline I made for formal debate speeches. It’s modeled on the one we have in our Global Classrooms book, but I think that it’s a bit more precise.

Moderated Caucus
Febrero 4th, 2010Here is an informative worksheet I’ve made outlining seven useful tactics and language to teach students so that they can use their speaking time strategically during moderated caucus. The tactics are divided into the following blocks with examples:
- Summarize your position
- Explain your problems
- Express your opinion
- Comment on other delegations’ positions
- Ask for aid
- Ask other delegations specific questions about the topic
- Form blocs
The second worksheet is a blank form with the appropriate language for students to brainstorm their own phrases.

Placard Template and Conference Note Sheet
Febrero 3rd, 2010Here is a template I used for a placard at our conference. On the back it has information on Yields, Points, and Motions.
Also, here is a note sheet with space for taking notes and writing if a group agrees or disagrees with the other groups. It’s pretty simple but it worked really well at our conference.
