Ni hao,

I don't want to interrupt you, but I would just like to let you know that you are doing an excellent job! Keep up the good work. I like what I'm hearing (except when you start speaking in Chinese about Kaka, Ronaldo, and Rando).

June 1st Mini MUN Conference Info

We will begin our Mini MUN Conference tmorrow, June 1st. I will be the chair (since we don't have enough people and because giving you 5 countries AND the responsibility of chair would be really cruel). You all have five countries. You should know your countries position by the time of this conference. For today, June 1st, we will focus mainly on how to use proper procedures during the Speaker's List, Moderated Caucus, and Unmoderated (Informal) Caucus. Next week we will write, draft, and amend resolutions and then vote on them.

Jia you!

Mr. Gibson

P.S. Your homework is to...1.) write a Caucus Outline which includes a list of topics you would like to discuss.2.) write your Opening Speeches. Make them 30 seconds to one minute long. The information should come from your position papers. 3.) fill out your Entrance Fee and return it to Mr. Gibson before 3:10 P.M. on the day of the conference.
