Emotional Council of Junior year

Checkmark

guide

Background — This committee is designed as an introduction to Model UN. Delegates do not need to research or have any prior knowledge, save for a brief understanding of the concept behind Inside Out and Model UN parliamentary procedure. A committee facilitator/chair may need to give an explanation that they are a council of emotions inside the brain of a high school student ‘The Host.’ The actions the committee takes via resolutions will be carried out by the host.

Running the Committee — Encourage students to get ‘in character’ and infer positions that their emotion would believe. Facilitators/chairs should give out characters who will disagree in order to create a room where there is some diversity of opinion and debate. 

Students should be handed the topics page and their character. Through the committee process, delegates should construct arguments on these topics from the perspective of their emotion and form blocs (groups) of emotions with similar ideas to construct resolutions. When multiple competing resolutions have been developed, they should be brought to a vote to decide what The Host does.

Suggested Assignment Order — 

Joy, Sadness, Anger, Anxiety, Embarrassment, Pride, Curiosity, Fear, Boredom, Disgust, Hope.
