My wonderful, sweet, and creative 6th graders just presented their Post Zombie Apocalypse Geography Plays (yes, I know that is a mouthful!). But they were hysterical.
They had to present all the concepts we learned about in our geography unit, in the format of a five minute play – theme: resettling after a zombie outbreak.
Two groups chose to have Trump in their plays. The first one had him turn into a zombie right away. The other group (in another class), they made him President and they begrudgingly started building a big wall. At one point, one of the actors yells out, while carrying a paper gun, “come on, let’s round up all the Mexicans!”
I couldn’t believe it. I have not spoken about Trump to them. But wow, their parents must be. They are NOT for him, these kids are definitely anti-Trump.
Later in the skit, they created bombs (wadded up paper) and blew up the wall. Trump, unfortunately was never turned into a zombie, but at least we know we have a bunch of 6th graders that will fight to overturn him if…
Anyway, a fun way to end a Friday.
Have a happy, and zombie free weekend!

What an engaging way to teach geography!
