 * Global Classrooms Judging Rubric **

There are 4 areas in which a delegate’s performance should be judged: o Substance of Argument o Public Speaking Mechanics o Knowledge and Usage of Parliamentary Procedure o Appearance and Preparation


 * Substance of Argument Notes **
 * Do the students effectively represent the country? Is what the delegates say the actual (or believable) position of the country? ||  ||
 * Do the delegates clearly state plausible solutions to the problems surrounding children in armed conflict / trafficking of species? ||  ||
 * Do the delegates further debate by raising other important issues? ||  ||


 * Public Speaking Mechanics **
 * Do the members of the delegation work as a team (i.e. both speak equally)? ||  ||
 * When speaking, are delegates intelligible? Do they speak loudly, clearly and with minimal pauses? ||  ||
 * Do the delegates engage the audience (make eye contact, etc.) when they speak? ||  ||


 * Knowledge and Usage of Parliamentary Procedure **
 * Do the delegates use appropriate points and motions at appropriate times? ||  ||
 * Do the delegates know how to “move in and out” of each mode of debate? For example, do the delegates know how to open the Speakers’ List? Do they know how to move to voting procedure? ||  ||
 * Do delegates use points and motions to drive or further debate? ||  ||


 * Appearance and Preparation **
 * Are the delegates dressed in professional attire? (ties, jackets, dress shoes, etc.) ||  ||
 * Are the delegates prepared for debate (materials, opening speeches) and on task? ||  ||
