  1. WRITE THIS DOWN! • CHSMUN.WORDPRESS.COM • MUNCLEVELAND@GMAIL.COM • CHICAGO: First Week of Feb.; $1600 • UCLA: November 2014; $100

  2. Last Week Continued: Citations • Citations are significant so that when using factual evidence, you are not suspect of plagiarism. • All position papers (all non-math/science works, in fact) must follow the MLA format. • This format applies to both citations and to the physical formatting of your paper. Two types of MLA citations: In-text/Parenthetical Citations Works Cited/Bibliography Page

  3. In-text/Parenthetical Citations A typical in-text citation: The in-text citation will include either the author’s last name and page number, or if there is no known author, the first three-four words of the article/book title followed by the page number. Web citations will not include a page number.

  4. Handling In-Text Citations Sometimes more information is necessary. -More than one author with the same last name (W. Wordsworth 23) (D. Wordsworth 224) -More than one work by the same author (Joyce, Portrait 121) (Joyce, Ulysses 556) -Different volumes of a multi-volume work (Jones 1: 336) -Citing indirect sources (Johnson qtd. in Boswell 450)

  5. Conference Workshop #3 Speeches & Caucuses

  6. Flow of Debate Generally, the flow of debate proceeds as follows: • Roll Call • Opening of Speakers List • Setting of Speakers Time • Debate • Unmoderated or moderated caucuses • Resolution writing • Closure of debate and voting procedures

  7. Speeches! • Once a speakers list has been created, the speaker’s time is usually set at about 1:30-2:30. • Before the first unmoderated caucus, most conferences smile upon moving down the speakers list for 4-5 countries. Then, in between caucuses, debate simply moves down the speakers list. • Have a speech prepared and memorized. Most conferences allow you to use notecards. • Be prepared to cut down the least important sections of your speech in case the speaker’s time is lowered. • If you are working with a partner, practice together! Know when to start/stop! • Take notes as other delegations give their speeches. It will help you make allies during unmoderated caucuses. Also, don’t be afraid of passing notes with questions or comments to countries whose positions you agree/disagree with in between speakers.

  8. Unmoderated Caucus Unmoderated caucuses are the least structured of all the caucuses. During an unmoderated caucus, delegates are free to move around the committee room and interact with one another. These usually last for 10-15 minutes each. • Form alliances!!!! • Write and rally support for resolutions • Exchange ideas and converse with other delegates • Be diplomatic, respectful, and OPEN to new ideas • Chairs really like it when they see delegates encouraging others to participate as well. Ask other delegations for their opinions. Remember, MUN is about cooperating and compromising!

  9. Moderated Caucus Moderated Caucuses are highly structured, allowing for delegates to bring up any point that pertains to the current topic. These often last between 8-15 minutes. • This is a mini-debate!!! Bring up points that have not been already touched during the conference. • Use this time to talk about relevant parts of your speech if you didn’t get to say it yet. • Speak CLEARLY and CONCISELY. Make it simple and straightforward, and mention other country positions and how you agree/disagree with them. • Be prepared to think on your feet!

  10. Formal Caucus Formal caucuses are a period of time for sponsors to speak about their resolution by explaining, clarifying, and answering questions about points on their proposed resolutions. These often last 25-30 minutes. • Each resolution bloc is usually given 10 minutes to speak. • Listen to other delegations proposing resolutions as it may address your country! Even if it doesn’t, you will be voting on the resolutions! • If you are one of the speakers, be prepared to answer questions on all aspects of your group’s resolution, even the parts that you did not contribute to.
