D1+Mutual+respect

Benchmarks: This simulation for the the "Big Four Conference" which takes place at the close of WW II, allows students to role play, debate, draft and deliver speeches. Select students are part of a security council as they //are empowered// to role play and interpret a country's position on post war global security. It allows the more verbal, confident and MUN experienced students to apply their skills while letting the others learners ask questions and record information from the speech/presentations. It also lets the student learn from each other instead information just coming from a teacher's lecture.
