UNeasy about the essay/Overall Project?

I will write this clearly...remember the "Pennies-a-Day" written statement? You had 13 questions to answer and then turn your answers into a mini-review of the film. You are doing the same thing for your UN Essay. Take the six questions from yesterday's handout - someone PLEASE type them into the comments section - and use your answers to guide you in writing your (read: nation's) POSITION on the ERADICATION OF POVERTY and how the UN should play its part in continuing, modifying, or eliminating the Millennium Development Goals. You should not even be worrying about the essay yet - Wait until Friday.

Until then, learn as much as you can about your nation - so you are better able to quickly persuade and work with other nations at the congress. STOP FREAKING OUT!!! If you have been researching and learning about your country (history, economic situation, friends/foes, concerns, MDG status, etc.) you are doing fine. If you have been wasting your time, goofing off, and not supporting one another, you will be ill-prepared and not only suffer gradewise, but you will be miserable at an ALL-DAY EVENT planned around this lesson.

  11. Oh, my lesboobatron-ness?

    Hmm. I wonder why they underlined "lesboobatron-ness" as wrong. Clearly, it's an actual word.

    But ANYWAYS. I may ACT like "I love the ladies"-(quote from greatest movie ever "Superstar) I really love the males.
