Transcript:

Good morning agents,

I have some bad news. Terrible news.

You going to have to work together as a team. And no, that’s not the bad news.

An increasing number of citizens in remote areas are disappearing.

As more people disappear the number of gruesome unexplained deaths is increasing.

Especially at night.

We have identified the perpetrators as difficult to kill, flesh-eating zombies.

Unfortunately, the number of undead is rapidly increasing and the victims have been reappearing as perpetrators.

Survivors are running scared. And citizens are starting to panic.

We’re seeing a breakdown of peace-keeping and medical services throughout the nation and key officials have been compromised.

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to ensure that your community is prepared for a zombie apocalypse.

Your teacher has further information regarding the situation.

Thank you, agents and good luck.

Graphic Novel

Preparedness 101 - Zombie Pandemic is a short graphic novel meant to be both educational and entertaining. It was made in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It stresses the importance of being prepared for any kind of disaster, even a zombie pandemic. Zombie Poster: Get a Kit. Make a Plan. Be Prepared. emergency.cdc.gov

 

Before reading, answer the following questions in pairs/groups.

  • What is a graphic novel? And in what way does it differ from a comic book?
  • Do you expect to like reading a graphic novel? Why?
  • What do you expect from a story about a zombie apocalypse?
  • Have you heard of the CDC before? What do you know about it?
  • Why do you think the CDC was extra important the last ~1,5 years?


After reading, answer the following questions in pairs/groups.

  • In which ways did the novel fit your expectations? In which ways did it not?
  • What, do you think, was the CDC's reasons for collaborating on this project?
  • What have you learned about surviving the zombie pandemic?
  • What have your learned about surviving any other pandemic?
  • This story was written before the Covid-19 pandemic took place. Which issues were predicted correctly? Which weren't?
  • Is there anything that we have learned during the Covid pandemic that would be included if this story was written today?
  • In the story they talk about making a vaccine, which is an issue that has been in the news a lot lately. Are you (planning to get) vaccinated? Why or why not?

 

 

 

 

History Lesson

Objective:  Learning from past disasters to prepare for future emergency situations.
I can satisfactorily read and understand straightforward, factual texts on subjects relating to my own interests or to school subjects.
I can present a topic in a short report using photographs and short blocks of text.
I can recognize the important points in straightforward newspaper articles.

 

Lesson:

You’ve been briefed that a zombie apocalypse is imminent. Often, the past influences and shapes the future. The agency needs a full report on a previous disaster to help plan for the zombie pandemic. Each of you will get a previous event and you’ll have to do research on the assigned disaster. Classify the types of disasters: natural, epidemic, biological, terrorism. Finish your report in 250 words. Use Magister to hand in your report. You will receive feedback to improve your writing.

  1. What happened during the disaster?

  2. How many people were affected and how?

  3. How did people / the government respond?

  4. What could have been done better to prepare for such a disaster?

  5. Which lessons learned from this disaster can be applied to a zombie apocalypse?

Discussion:

What are the likely threats that would affect our community? Based on what we’ve learned for past events, how should we prepare emergencies?

Emergency Response Simulation

Emergency Response Simulation:

Objective: A hands-on approach to teaching students how the emergency response process works by testing plans, making decisions, and facing unexpected events.

I can explain why something is a problem, discuss what to do next, compare and contrast alternatives. I can give brief comments on the views of others. I can make his/her opinions and reactions understood as regards possible solutions or the question of what to do next, giving brief reasons and explanation. I can invite others to give their views on how to proceed.

 

Lesson:

You will act as members of an Emergency Response Council for the City of Tilburg. You will make decisions on how to proceed in the face of an emergency, how to prepare the community, and how to keep citizens of Tilburg safe.

 

You will get a job description of a person during an emergency, and information about the political climate in Tilburg. The job descriptions can be shared, but the additional information is just for the person playing the role.

After roles are assigned, you will receive a news bulletin and assemble the Emergency Response Council. You will need to work together to answer questions, create a plan, and settle differences.

You, as a member of the Emergency Council, have to make a community plan. The ultimate goal should be to protect the citizens of Tilburg. Use the map below.

Questions to answer:

  1. Where should the citizens go?
  2. What should they bring?
  3. Should they evacuate the city, go to a local shelter, or shelter in place?
  4. What is the best way to prevent infection? What is the council’s official position on prevention?
  5. How to transport people with disabilities?
  6. If citizens choose to evacuate, what route do you recommend?
  7. How will you communicate this plan to the public?

  8. How do you communicate your plan to those citizens that have English as a second language?

 

Disease Detective

Disease Detective:

Objective: Figure out how the zombie virus was originally transmitted and what hypothesis might explain how it happened.

I can understand straightforward factual information about common everyday or job related topics, identifying both general messages and specific details, provided speech is clearly articulated in a generally familiar accent.

This is the status report:

An increasing number of citizens are disappearing, especially at night. These victims are reappearing as perpetrators. They are slow-moving, very strong. They are impervious to pain/injury and appear to be unaware of their surroundings. We’ve discovered that after the victims disappear, they reappear without human blood. Without blood flow, these perpetrators freeze quickly. We believe this is why they are headed south – to warmer temperatures. They are constantly hungry and attacking at an alarming rate.

We’re currently trying to figure out how to stop them, but a defensive standoff is not a long-term solution. What we need to figure out is how this virus originally infected the first victims.

Here’s what we do know. All of the victims attended a carnival in Vancouver. We’ve collected interviews, but haven’t had time to review them for consistencies.

What we need from you, agents, is a thorough investigation. We need to know the root cause of this virus in order to create a vaccine to stop the growing mass of those infected.

Lesson:

You will read/listening to ten collected interview from carnival attendees. You will be conducting an investigation into what the infected attendees have in common. Did they all have a corn dog? Did they attend the same shows?

Use the 11x11 square graph. When listening to the interviews, mark an X to correspond with the infected person and the carnival activity that they participated in that day.

Note: All of the infected victims will have their stories told by someone else (family member/friend), so make sure you write down what the INFECTED person did at the carnival.

Emergency Kits 101

Emergency Kits 101:

Lesson:

You’ll get 2-3 minutes to create a list of items you think you would need in an emergency situation. If zombies, or real emergencies, are headed your way, it is important to be prepared.

Stand up with your individual list and listen to your teacher. Sit down if the item mentioned in the story is not on your list. The last person standing is the most prepared in the event of an emergency. 

Reading

Reading:

Objective: Students will read an article about subjects related to the Zombie apocalypse and other supernatural subjects. 
I can recognize the important points in straightforward newspaper articles on familiar subjects.

Lesson:

Read the articles below. There are two versions of these articles. Students should choose to do the level one exercise or the level two exercise. The level two exercise will be a challenge for various students as the vocabulary and grammar used in that text is more difficult. Each text has four quiz questions.

What does this article make you wonder about? Talk about questions that would encourage future investigation of this topic or process. Explain why these questions are interesting or important.

Scavenger Hunt

Scavenger Hunt:

In various locations in and around the school you can prove that you are ready for the zombie apocalypse. By completing different kind of picture/video exercises, you can score points to prove that you will be the last survivor. 

You’ll get a set amount of time to score as many points as you can. Your teams must stay together at all times, and the team that has the most points at the end will be the winner. 

To join in, have one person of you group download the app 'GooseChase' in the App Store (iPhone) or in the Play Store (Android).
