• Location: JC1F
• Homeroom Teacher: Debby, Hung Li-Ching
• Model UN

This class is a combined/elective class with 50% Gao Yi Yi and then Gao Yi Cheng and others.

• Debbie came to meet me today and discuss the model UN opening speech parameters.
• In the book page 47 is the opening speech.
• My idea is I will help them to structure their opening speech around similar language and I will use scaffolding to show them how to create their own statements based on the vocabulary on pages 43 and 44.
• Note: This is not an introduction (pg. 31, 32) or a resolution (pg. 33, 34, 37) so we will only study the language specific to opening speeches and their examples in the book.
• Will have approx. 30 minutes in today's class and possibly another 30 minutes next week as well.

We had a meeting today regarding migrant_workers_pp.docx (“position paper” on google classroom). My job today is to discuss with them how to do online research according to the textbook. 15 min.

Meeting with Debby. This next class continue presentation about migrant workers.

• There were three questions they were asked:
  • Why does Taiwan need migrant workers?

Today there can be a role play activity

• The role play is about, some of them are migrant workers and some are employers (company owners)
• The employers can speak about why they need migrant workers.

Barriers:

• First barrier is usually language
• Second is cultural or religious

Appledog will mainly assist the students with their English, correcting where necessary.

• So it will be 4 in a group.
• Teacher will choose 3 to 5 local news about Migrant workers and then create a role play about this news. One can be the agency, one the police, one the worker and one the employer.
• Each group will have their own news to role play.
• Appledog will be available to help answer any questions.
• Appledog will help them to share their role play in Englsh. After their presentation Appledog will help them by giving them one or two helpful English tips.

• Next week Appleddog will be the host of a 'Judge' game where migrant workers must plead their disagreement to the Judge.
