Purpose: The purpose of this activity is to brainstorm foreign policy ideas to present in our simulation. This will also prepare you for tomorrow when you are writing a policy memo summarizing what is happening in Venezuela, and what you propose the National Security Council do.

Directions:

1.Make a copy of this document

2. Share the document with everyone in your group, as well as Ms. Matlick

3. As a group, fill out the table on the Google Doc. First, brainstorm what option(s) from the briefing book best fit your role and your goals while still addressing what is happening in Venezuela.

4. For each option from the briefing book, as a group brainstorm an associated foreign policy tools and specific policy action that would best address the problems in Venezuela.

NOTE: You can work within the same option from the briefing book as long as you have 3 different foreign policy tools and specific policy actions total. For example, if you pick "Diplomatic and Economic Intervention" you could pick the different foreign policy tools of diplomacy, trade policy, and economic sanctions. Then, you would brainstorm a specific policy action for each.

5. When you are done, go back and double check your work. After you double check your work, check in with Ms. M to get it checked off.
