Yo,
As I just mentioned, our goal for this semester is to do at least two things...
1.) Have another Mini MUN Conference. The only thing I am going to say is that this conference must pertain to the International Court of Justice or International Criminal Court。http://www.icj-cij.org/homepage/index.php
2.) Come up with some sort of community service project. The idea here is that we take our administrative and problem solving skills and create some sort of project. Here are some charities that operate in Taiwan and/or internationally. You may be able to create a project in conjunction with them. You may also create a project for something completely unrelated.

Whatever project you create, I will expect you to fisrt ask a question such as "How can we fix...?" Then, I expect you all, as a team, to create a gameplan for solving this problem with concrete steps. Whatever your gameplan is, I encourage you to look for help from your families, classmates, fellow Mingdao students, fellow citizens of Taichung and Taichung county, fellow countrymen and women, etc. The bigger the better. Remember, MUN itself started out as a student project by some Harvard undergraduates in the 1920's. Do you think they knew that kids all across the globe would be participating in it a mere 90 years later?
You may create more than one charity project, but you may not create any more than three.
***.) Create an inter-school Model United Nations Conference. If you want to do this, we can do it! It has been mentioned by some of your classmates that we would like to set a High School MUN Conference run by you, the Mingdao students (with me helping of course).
Welcome back to school and MUN! I am hoping that we can create some practical, hands on projects that not only help you, but also help your community.
Jia you!
Mr. Gibson

ReplyDeleteWeek one homework...
ReplyDelete1.) Create a Community Service Plan (or no more than three plans) that we can enact during the semester. As a class (or as each individual group if you decide to do more than moe project), email me your decision before 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 20th
2.) Decide upon a topic for our International Court of Justice or International Criminal Court Conference. As a class, email me your decision before 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 20th
3.) Although we will not be doing it in class (and therefore you will not recieve a grade), seeing as how you are all interested in having a Mingdao High School MUN Conference, come up with a plan with dates, chair assignments, room reservations, etc. before 10:00 p.m. Sunday, February 27th.
I know that this is YOUR project, but I would like to help you organize your time and thoughts. So, let's set this date. You all can take it from there.
P.S. I REALLY like what I see and here from today's class.
