Summer Assignment Template


 * Part 1: **

The Co-chair Summer Assignment is designed to help the chairs make sure that authenticity is maintained by the delegates at the Conference. Please use the country matrix to see which countries are assigned to your committee room. After that, please create a country study for every country in your committee. A country study is a page created by the chairs which summarizes the position of a country in regards to the given topics. You must have a study completed for each of the topics. (That means two per country)

Do not worry about printing this out. Instead, link it in the [|__spreadsheet__] here. This is due the first day of class. You will be referencing theses country studies and editing them throughout the duration of the MUNSA course.

Be sure to share them with anyone with the link!

Please be sure to include the following:


 * 1) Country Name
 * 2) Geographic location
 * 3) Population
 * 4) Developed or Developing
 * 5) Any other facts relating your specific topic or committee.

Then please summarize the position of your country regarding your topic in three to five sentence. This does not have to be in depth because we will be doing a lot with the country studies during the year.

For specialized committees: Complete a study similar to normal committees, but research the following:


 * 1) Delegate name
 * 2) Nationality
 * 3) Position
 * 4) 3-5 sentences summarizing their position on the issue and any other relevant information


 * Example Country Study: **

1. United States of America

2. North America (bordered by Canada and Mexico)

3. approx. 300 million

4. Developed

5. US is the best country in the world!

The United States is widely considered the leader of the modern world. They believe in the continuation of democracy and freedom for every human in the world.


 * Part 2: **

Think about your topic and how it relates to the theme innovation. How could you solve the problem using innovation? Think about different ideas and write a short paragraph discussing how you would carry out your idea. Your solution can range from a machine to an elaborate revolution. Be creative! We will using your ideas to create a presentation the first week of school!
