Formal Speeches • Given in front of a congregation, usually at a podium or in the front of the room • Appeal to the group to consider a position or to take a certain course of action • timed; usually for a minute or two • Speakers typically take the podium going down the speaker’s list • Often times, these speeches update a committee on what certain groups have been working on during unmoderated caucus
Strategy for formal speeches • Don’t say too much in one speech • Be specific towards the current committee on goings • Be persuasive! Don’t just talk, convince • Make sure your speech has structure • Do NOT write out your speech before giving it • Be aware of what you want to talk about, but don’t have it all written out • Opening speech can be a bit of an exception
Unmoderated caucus • Informal form of communication between delegates in a committee • Delegates move around their committee room and discuss solutions • Typically, large groups form and begin to work on resolutions collaboratively • Timed; usually for larger periods, often for 60 minutes
Strategies for unmoderated caucus • Get together with your bloc (delegates whose countries are in the same region as the your country) • Delegates will often announce where a bloc is meeting during an opening speech, or you can do this yourself • Don’t be trampled on during conversation • Everyone is in such a hurry to try and get their ideas out that it is often hard to speak up; be patient, but not meek • Delegates will often announce where a bloc is meeting during an opening speech, or you can do this yourself
Moderated caucus • This type of speaking is more formal than an unmoderated caucus and less so than a formal speech • A speaker’s list is created • Speaker’s either stand at their seat or walk up to the podium, depending on the conference • Each speech is timed, and is usually short; 30-45 seconds • Delegates stand and speak, moving one at a time down the speaker’s list until the time for the entire caucus has elapsed
Strategies for moderated caucus • Build off of the speech that came before you • This requires you to be listening and reacting • Don’t forget to make your own point • Get to your point, and make it count! • Moderated caucus has a popcorn style structure
