Writing Resolutions

OK,

Again. You have done fantastic so far! Your debates are really lively and I can tell that most of you are enjoying this.

As of right now, you should have an idea of where everyone stands. I suggest this. Maybe you arte mad because someone is damming up your river. Don't ask for a caucus "on the topic of why ____(Name of Other Country)______ is building dams and preventing water from flowing dowm downstream to ___(Your countries' name)__ ."

Instead, try something like this. "We call for a blah minute caucus with blah second speaking times on the topic of countries AROUND THE WORLD building dams and preventing water from flowing downstream to other coutnries.

Hopefully, you have paid attention to everyone else and now you have started putting your heads together and coming up with some sort of plan for tomorrow. During tomorrow['s conference, you should be moving towards writing a Resolution. it will look something like this...

Notice the way it is written. Resolutions tell us what the problem is in the first part. This part is called the Preamble. Then, in the second part, or Operative Clauses, some sort of plan to fix the problem is written.

NOTE: You must use the proper Preambulatory and Operative Clause Headings when you write your Resolutions. I know they are really hard words, but these words are very specific and will be very useful to you.

We will vote on your Resolutions at the end of the day.

Jia you!

PS - Think up a strategy! Who are your friends? Who is on the fence. Why are they on teh fence? How can you get them off the fence and onto your side?
