Bringing the United Nations to Life
"This integrated curriculum is intended to provide a rich simulation experience for young adolescents. The topic explores not only the structure and purpose of the UN, but the relationship of complex governmental, economic and religious structures. Students are engaged in learning about specific member countries, the protocol and function of the UN, and the long-term goals and missions of this organization. By assuming various roles, the students and teacher recreate the full United Nations.
Students will be exposed to both current and past issues as they learn about resolution and peacekeeping processes. This unit provides sensitive gifted students with an in-depth understanding of global situations and the increasingly interconnected global community. Students will increase their facility of various types of communication as they take part in formal state dinners, debate specific issues, conduct committee meetings, and write formal recommendations and treaties."
