As a fan of MUNs and a student of Global Politics HL, I took part in organizing a Model United Nations session for students of Grade 8. This was after Humanities teachers of Grade 8 approached few students (including me) to teach students about debates, and the workings of an MUN. After few meetings, we had a team ready with two people who have had experience in organizing MUNs, and three people with good debate skills and interest in politics. I volunteered to make a poster for the event, and decided on a title too: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After this, we conducted the session, and formed our own rubric, which was as follows: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Respect for the other team<\/td><\/tr>
Information<\/td><\/tr>
Rebuttal<\/td><\/tr>
Use of facts\/statistics<\/td><\/tr>
Organization<\/td><\/tr>

Rubric out of 5<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Components of CAS catered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creativity: Planning the session involved a lot of creative-thinking skills, in order to make sure that students were enthusiastic and did participate. Additionally, I designed the poster and came up with the title of the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Service: The purpose of this session was to make sure that students understood about the basic conventions of debate and weren’t misguided by their pre-conceived notions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning Outcomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. I could identify my strength in design and knowledge in politics, but have to work more on self-management.<\/li>
  2. Challenges included getting every student to participate, dealing with numerous doubts, keeping up with our own schedules etc.<\/li>
  3. We planned this CAS experience by organizing a workshop first, and the session next, in order to make sure that students understood what they were supposed to do. The evidence of same can be found below.<\/li>
  4. We showed commitment by adhering to the deadlines. The sheet of the deadlines can be found below.<\/li>
  5. The different benefits that collaboration offered were huge. Two of us handled MUN rules and regulations, while two of us used political knowledge to provide context.<\/li>
  6. We taught the students about matters of global significance, and how they are formally dealt with in organizations like the UN.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
