The Zombie Outbreak is Here

banner-zombieToday we are starting our new unit studying geography in terms of a fictional zombie outbreak.  Students are invited to explore the resources in the link below to help them start their first task: identifying their first steps.  What will you do when the outbreak happens?  What are the first things you should consider? What will you need?

Your Assignment: Develop a personal ZERP (Zombie Emergency Response Plan). You need to make a blog post detailing your ZERP.  In your plan you should identify…

  • What are the potential dangers?
  • What tools will you need?
  • Where should you go?
  • How will you meet basic survival needs?
  • How will you defend yourself?
  • …and a ton of other stuff.

It is a good idea to use sufficient detail to share all your thinking and to also include links to any online resources you use.  Pictures are a good thing to help keep your audience interested as well.
