QUESTION ONE
About 1/3 of the world was lost. Travelled as far as Britain, in the
west.
ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!
The world has been infected with
a mutant virus that is creating
zombies!
Your team if scientists and
historians must find out how we
can save humanity. You must
create a presentation to answer
the following questions (and
include any other you come up
with in your research)
SPREAD OF DISEASE
How does a plague start and
spread from place to place
(think globally and locally)?
Investigate cases from the
ancient past, North American
indigenous populations, and an
example from the past 100
years.
INVASION
The zombies will invade our cities and our homes. We must learn
from the past to protect ourselves.
Report on the kinds of tactics that invaders use to attack enemies.
GOVERNMENT
What happens when the government falls? What can
we expect from society? What kind of leadership will
rise in its place.
I suggest you check out the term, Barbarian.
Also, find an example from recent historyperhaps
the Gulf War.
Are there any examples from literature or media that
you can use to illustrate your example?
INFRASTRUCTURES
When the zombies attack, what will happen
to our infrastructures? City streets, lights,
water supplies, grocery stores, bridges,
police, fire, schools, and everything else we
rely on to run our daily lives?
You need to investigate what happens when
invaders take a city. What happens to the
infrastructures?
Look at the Fall of Rome, any war in the 2oth
century and one other example you can find.
SOCIAL STRUCTURE
What will happen to society? Will the
structure collapse?
Investigate and report on what has
happened with other societies after an
invasion.
Look at the tribes of ancient Britain, the
Maya, the Aztec, the Inca, North American
Indigenous peoples, the people of Europe
in WWII, or the people of Vietnam,
Cambodia, India or others you can find.
REMEMBER
Make connections to various periods in time and
places in the world.
Be creative, but factual. This is a fictional
assignment, BUT your work is research based on
facts.
DO NOT WAIT to ask questions or get clarification!
Use you class time wisely.
Use a variety of sources and tools for research
and display.
