My report


Marius Posted: Wed, 04/22/2009 - 11:09

I am doing a report/speech for a class, about general zombie survival, and I was wondering if anybody has some ideas to pitch to me about some things it should contain.

It's better to burn out than to fade away......

You should probably establish the difference between the Hollywood zombies (slow and fast) and the "real" zombies of Haitian voodoo and folklore. Follow the basic guidelines for survival as prescribed in a Survival Manual from the U. S. military (FM 21-76) and subtract things that are counter-zombie survival intuitive. Use note cards and make an outline, it will help you set your ideas straight. Try not to do too much and not too little either, being to general or too broad is bad. Finally, make sure that you have someone proof read your material before you turn it in, preferably someone who is particularly good at written English. You may want to focus on some different strategical survival options such running or defending a position after barricading. Hope this helps.

Make sure to open the floor to questions afterwards and Facepalm at everyone who says something idiotic, such as...

"That's not true, I watched [Insert Movie Here] and to kill the zombies they had to [Insert further stupidity here]"

To destroy a being whilst they are unrepentant is to preserve the being in body and spirit, so long as this remains true the people of the world shall always be free.

Make your classmates, if this is a presentation, really believe you are serious by going in with dress clothing (if you can get around the dress code) and come prepared to refute such arguments as described above by Slash.

What's the basis of the report? Like, what are the instructions of the assignment?

Friends, is proper English so hard?

One big thing, is discuss how zombies could be real...so they don't think your a stupid fool and ignore your whole report from the get-go...

such as;

-Parasites
-Mutated Rabies like viruses (not bacteria).
-Bactrium that produce drug like bi-products through their respiration (you can tie this in with Haitian Drug voodoo).
-Haitian Drugs.

Do the paranormal last...before your conclusion...and kinda talk it down...

Include the following:

What is a zombie? (Definition & movie examples)
How they spread.
How to "stop" one. (Very PC)
Shelters/ Forts.
General survival (food, water, etc)
Mention threat by other humans.

particularly difficult. Be determined and advance."

I've seen a page about it..."5 ways zombies could actually happen". You'd probably want to use that.

As soon as you finish it please put it on the site. I am sure that a number of us would like to read it (I would ).
