Hi all,
I’m not going to be able to come to Tuesday’s meeting, but here is the presentation I made about New York City for the Cantabrian representatives. It gives a little bit of history and has photographs and basic information about the boroughs. If you wish, you can show it/e-mail it to your students, as it would give them a little bit of context for their trip.

Hello!
The following are a few links my students found helpful (in addition to country profiles provided by various factbooks) in researching the CAR:

Hello!
As promised, I wanted to add the PowerPoint presentation we used to introduce Nuclear Energy based on the Background Guide information. We also provided a supplementary worksheet that I have uploaded.
Thanks!
Best,
The Doctors Without Borders country overview also gives a quick but thorough summary of the issues in CAR (although it’s from 2007, when DWB stopped working in the country).

If anyone is looking for some good background/recent information about the Central African Republic, check out the BBC website; it has a country profile, timeline, and recent news articles.

This PowerPoint serves as a quick review of the resolution writing process and focuses on content as well as format details. Resolutionreminders
Have a great day,

This is one of the vocabulary sheets that I would like to include in the student packets for the conference on Friday. It was the version that worked best in my classroom. Resolution Vocabulary
See you all soon!

hello!
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!
