Hi students,
Please pack these items in your suitcase or your backpack:
1. Your Model UN binder with a cover sheet that has your name and the name of your committee (make this up on the computer)
2. Your position paper
3. Your speech (make sure you have a copy with a large font)
4. A country fact sheet (go to an encylopedia web site and find a list of facts for your country and print it out. Search "Malaysia facts" or "Bahamas facts." National Geographic has a web site that you can use.)
5. Optional (this is a good idea): search the BBC or other news site and see if there has been any recent articles (last 3 months) about Malaysia or the Bahamas. If so, print them out.
Double check your packing with a parent and your packing list.
See you soon,
Ms Erin
p.s. Sam and Leah-please see me to give me your orders for Tues. lunch and dinner at the airport.
