2 Welcome to OUtbreak! When the zombies attack, where should we run, where regroup, and where rebuild our lives? These critical survival questions can focus student attention on a highly motivating and dangerously overlooked fact: Geography skills can save you from an impending zombie apocalypse! Developed by David Hunter, Zombie Based Geography uses students natural desire to survive zombie assaults to motivate study of a complete curriculum based on the 2012 National Geography Standards. Students then apply those skills in a simulation based on surviving when hordes of slavering zombies threaten to overrun their own neighborhoods.

7 Why Zombie Based Learning? Why Zombie Based Learning? I love geography and I love zombies, but most of all, I love when learning happens outside of school and engagement happens in school. By building this curriculum, I wanted show that learning could be done through far out scenarios, or even just based on student interests. My hope is that this project will engage students, provide standards-based lessons for teachers, and support project-based learning. This curriculum uses the 2012 National Geography Standards. These standards were developed by the National Council for Social Studies, The American Geographical Society, The Association of American Geographers, The National Council for Geographic Education, and the National Geographic Society. Students will learn to think like geographers and also learn to survive the zombie outbreak. This curriculum also includes a companion graphic novel. Dead Reckon tells the story of a student struggling to survive in a zombie outbreak. The challenges set up in Dead Reckon are the same challenges students face in this curriculum. Dead Reckon is meant to keep students engaged and give them reasons to tackle the geographic problems they need to solve. My goal was to prove that rigorous academic concepts could be learned through engaging scenarios. I believe I ve been successful, but this is also just the beginning. The true opportunities in education and curriculum are just being approached. I look forward to a future where engaging learning experiences are built with students in mind. David Hunter 2013 Interact - Outbreak: Zombie Based Geography - Teacher Guide ix
8 Project 01: Explaining the Project Explaining the Project Concept of Project 01 Before the Outbreak: Project 01 Project Goal The main goal for this project is for students to show their ability to display data on a map and analyze spatial relationships. Along the way they learn about geographic tools and how to choose appropriate tools. Main Final Product At the end of the project, students should have a completed map displaying the 4 days of zombie attack data. They should include a short written explanation of where they identified the locations for Day 5 and 6 as high risk and why. Project Options Because of the data students need to apply to a map, it works best if they don t make a map of the entire United States. Making a map of the region or state will be much more manageable for the students. See the downloads for the data and map outlines (or construct your own). You may allow students to choose different regions of the United States, or you can decide the region they should work on. You may decide to have all students work on the region you live in, or you may want each region represented within a class. Student choice often encourages engagement, and the rubric and project allow for students to create maps of different locations. You may provide students with the outlines of the state and regions (base map). For a more challenging project, you can have students create their maps from satellite images. This would take considerably more time. This may be an advanced option, or an option for a homeschool setting. Tracing satellite images to create a map models the work that cartographers often used to do. However, many map makers are now working digitally with GIS programs. It is your decision whether creating maps from a satellite image is a valuable skill that you desire Interact - Outbreak: Zombie Based Geography - Teacher Guide 3
9 Project 01: Mapping the Zombie Outbreak Mapping the Zombie Outbreak Outline of Project 01 Teaching Tip The included graphic novel, Dead Reckon, tells a story of a student trying to solve this same situation in order to warn others about the zombie outbreak. Teaching Tip This represents the final project students are asked to do. Teaching Tip Or, how does geography help us stay ahead of the zombie outbreak? Teaching Tip Through this project, students will be expected to learn these skills. Before the Outbreak: Project 01 Studying the Earth is at the heart of geography. In this first project, students are introduced to some of the questions geographers ask and the tools they use to try and find answers. Students will apply these tools as they create their own map and analyze the spatial relationships between cities. By recognizing these relationships, students will be able to predict the movement of the zombie outbreak and where zombies are most likely to attack next. Final Project Task Students will need to create a map of using the zombie attack data provided. Driving Question How are geographic tools used to make predictions and find solutions? Student Learning 1. How to choose appropriate maps and tools. 2. How to create maps to display data. 3. How to analyze distance and connections of major metropolitan cities. 4. How to describe patterns of migration and diffusion. Lesson Sequence 1. Intro to Geography 2. Different Types of Maps 3. Map Elements Map Making Work Time 4. Intro to Analyzing Spatial Relationships 5. Identifying Major Cities Structures 6. Examining Connections Relationships 7. What Moves and How? Processes 8.

10 Mapping the Zombie Outbreak Master Mapping the Zombie Outbreak Zombie Outbreak Data Map If the zombie virus was spreading, wouldn t you want to know where it was going? In this project, you will learn to use geographic tools and data to track the spread of the zombie apocalypse. Driving Question How are geographic tools used to make predictions and find solutions? What You Will Produce Create a map using the zombie attack data provided. Your Map Will Include important map features (direction, symbols, legend, index, scale) Identify major cities Show the spread of zombie attacks Show the connections between cities that help the zombie virus spread You Will Also Explain How you decided where the zombies would spread By the end of this project, you will be able to answer these questions What the heck is geography? What tools do geographers use and why? How do I design a map? Where are the major cities in my country? How are major cities connected and how do they relate to each other? What is the process of diffusion? How do I display data using maps? 6 Outbreak: Zombie Based Geography - Teacher Guide 2013 Interact -
11 Project 01 Lessons Project 01 Lessons Intro What is geography? Geography tools and different types of maps 1. Physical Map Shows the features of an area, such as mountains, rivers, and lakes. Usually uses color. 2. Climate Map Shows average weather and rain of a region. 3. Economic or Resource Map Includes symbols to show the locations of different resources or economic activity. 4.
