What educators are saying

I use this with my grade 9 class, and I will often have students who has moved on to grade 12 come back and tell me that this was one of their favorite projects during their time in high school. I'm not sure there is a better compliment I can give than that! Excellent resource.
Fantastic resource - exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this!

Description

In this activity, students will role play that they are trapped in their school by the zombie apocalypse. They have to decide whether to stay at the school... or whether to leave the school for an alternate location. In order to make this precarious decision, they must weigh the pros and cons of both scenarios and then craft a persuasive speech to convince the class (the rest of their group) to go or to stay.

Now included as part of the Ultimate Zombie Literary Unit found HERE!

In this high-interest activity, students will employ the devices and techniques of persuasive writing and include rhetorical devices and appeals to persuade their audience. They will present their speeches to the class using visual aids to enhance their overall messages.

Students will take interest in this topic and at having the opportunity to be creative! This make a great unit for any time of year but especially Halloween!
