Beowulf animated movie

So what should be done with Grendel? (3ºB,C)

Grendel as you know is a dreadful blood-thirsty monster who (or should I say which?) slaughtered many warriors in a brutal way. Beowulf killed him, but what if he lived nowadays? What should we do with a monster like Grendel now, in the 21st century? We no longer live in barbaric, brutal Middle Ages, we are far more civilised... aren´t we?  In pairs (the same ones as for the presentations), you have been assigned the following possible solutions for the situation and countries, because as you know we are going to find a way to solve this using the UN model. You have to defend your action in the Tuesday 27 conference, so you are supposed to prepare an opening speech (1.30 min long) and come up with pros but also cons about it (to be ready for refutations in the moderated caucus, obviously in your speech focus only on the good points of your action). You should also think of disadvantages of the other punishments in order to have arguments against the other pairs in the caucus. In relation with your country you don´t have to prepare anything, just make a placard with the country name on it. Good luck!
