A few recommendations for a successful Himalaya Summit:

• Be sure to have students sit with their group during the Summit.  The room may need to be rearranged for a conference like environment.

• Make name tags and/or placards for each person and group. 

• Encourage the students to dress as their individual role on the day their group presents.

• Students may want to make posters or flyers to promote their position within their Himalaya region.

• Allow one class period for each group to present. 

• The audience should take notes on each presentation. 

• Use the Summit Note Taking Handout to facilitate note taking.

• Encourage students to ask questions each day of the Summit. 

• Remember to vote on each issue at the end of the project.  You can use a variety of voting techniques.

• Have fun!  Bring in Himalayan food and music for the class to share!
