My MMUN Position Paper Support

Preparing students for the Montessori Model United Nations conference can be daunting, especially as you try to navigate balancing the autonomy students crave with the importance of internet safety and research skills.

Teaching effective position paper writing can be even more challenging. How do you teach argumentation and essay writing skills while also teaching the specific conventions of a position paper for the United Nations? How do you ensure students know what to do next after you have given a lesson, given that there are so many moving parts?

These step-by-step instructions and sentence frames support students as they work through the process of writing their MMUN Position Papers. Students who utilize the sentence frames effectively, personalizing them to use their writing voice, find that they have an incredibly strong essay at the end of the process! Try it out in your own classroom.
