Homework for tomorrow

Ni hao


 

First off, here is your homework for tomorrow…

  1. Read what I posted below.
  2. Have lots of information and be prepared to finish your position papers by tomorrow
  3. Create a two to three sentence quote from your character that summarizes how you feel about the Iranian Nuclear Weapons Program.
  4. Next week you must have a caucus outline and a speech typed that you plan to give to the General Assembly.

Second off, we are going to do two conferences. We are going to do a mini-General Assembly in which each of your characters will make speeches (we will also tie that in with the newspaper. More on that tomorrow). Also, during the mini General Assembly, you can meet and caucus with anyone and discuss anything. So, our official committee name will be "UN Committee on Non-Proliferation." The Second (and more important council) will simply be called the "UN Security Council on Non-Proliferation." Because of what happened yesterday (again, look at The Wire) it changes everything. In real life, the real Security Council will have a similar conference. So we are ahead of the game!


  1.  

  2. Hint…there have been three resolutions passed before dealing with Iran before Obama became president and one since then. Find out what each resolution said. Remember, look for those words like "Resolves to, Draws attention to,…" etc. Finally, I want you to think, what can my country do if I am on the Security Council and a country continues to do behaviour which the Security Council has sanctioned?


     

*.) I know you guys are getting frustrated with this, but this is not math class!!! Try and remember…your objectives are simple. First find out what your country wants. Second, create a strategy to get it. Third, do everything you can to get it! There are no "right" or "wrong" answers. There are only "better" and "worse" strategies for you to create.


 

JIA YOU!!!
