=Nuclear Weapons Model UN Simulation=

Your goal: How does the UN address the issue of Nuclear Weapons? How do we prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and how can we reduce or eliminate nuclear weapons?
To complete this assignment you will be writing the outline of a position paper before lunch - so you have one hour to complete this sheet on your assigned country's positon on nuclear weapons.

Use this worksheet to create an outline for your position paper:

You should split this work (filling out the outline) amongst the members of your group.

Here are the sites where you should look for information on your country's stance on nuclear weapons:

Get a black Nuclear Weapons Choices book (black book) from the side bookshelf.

@http://www.fas.org/programs/ssp/nukes/nuclearweapons/nukestatus.html

@http://www.un.org/disarmament/

@http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/peace/abolish-nuclear-weapons/the-vital-statistics/

@https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/index.html - you will need to locate your country using the drop down menu near the top of the page.

Once you have finished the outline, you may begin writing your position paper (which will be worth a test grade and due on Monday).

In addition you should also plan to write your country's opening statement as we will begin at precisely 12:15.

Your assignment for today:

Watch a minimum of 8 videos (they're all super short) about nuclear warfare - create a thread amongst them all...focus on terrorism and nuclear weapons, or North Korea/Iran or proliferation and try to watch videos that cover your chosen topic.

Summarize each of the 8 videos that you watch, and write a good quality CCQ that really summarizes your thoughts.

After you've completed watching all 8 videos, summarize the issue you've learned about and create a possible solution to this issue.

Then get a black book open to page 25. Which of these options do you think would fit in best with the work you just did (in other words would be the best CHOICE to solve your chosen issue). Skim through pages 26-31 to get a better idea of each choice.

Tonight's HW: You'll be given an option to defend. Summarize that option and email it to yourself in class today so that you have it tonight to help you prepare. Tomorrow you will defend that assigned option in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Four of you will be chosen to serve on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. You four will have to create a list of high quality questions (4-5 for each option) which put those options on guard and make them double think their point of view.
