You’ve been given a 72 hour notice that the U.S. will be attacked with nuclear weaponry. Your team must create a pamphlet detailing your plan for survival. To prepare your pamphlet, your team will need to use detailed research and your own creativity.

Name of your Town Picture that represents your town Student Name(s)
4
Today’s Goals: Due at the end of class Name your town. Where are you located? It must be made up, in the continental US, and landlocked (significantly far away from major bodies of water). Draw a picture of the state you are in, with major cities marked and labeled. Mark the location of your town; be sure it is far enough away form major cities (in your state and bordering states) to be protected from the blast. Decide who you will tell about the coming attacks and who you will work with or save in your own home. Remember, telling a lot of people can cause mass hysteria. Telling someone does not mean you have to provide for or protect them
5
Our Crew / My Crew Housing Shopping This page will require you to do some online shopping! You have a limit of 20 different items and a $5,000 budget.
6
Today’s Goals: Due at the end of class Plan out the layout of your lair, bunker, home base, house, or camp. What design would work best for the climate, the amount of people, and efficiently use resources? Research what items you will need for the foreseeable future to help sustain your community. Create a shopping list with 20 items or less within your budget of $5000. This budget is for the entire group, not per person. List the items, price, quantity, and purpose (if it is not obvious). You may use your phones as long as you are on task. Should you fall off task, you will loose phone (internet) privileges for the duration of this project.
7
Radiation Research Radiation: Fallout: Protection against radiation/fallout Effects of Radiation People: Plants: Animals: You will need to access the library’s research databases in order to complete the research needed for these two pages.
8
Today’s Goals: Due at the end of class Conduct research about radiation and fallout. For each subject, search for information about… What it is. What effects it has on people, plants, and animals. How to prevent exposure to it. Use only trusted educational websites, such as.gov.edu Be sure to put anything you find in your own words. DO NOT COPY PASTE or plagiarize anything! Keep track of your works cited by using the free EasyBib app. All sources will need to be organized in alphabetical order so do not write them on your final copy until you have completed all research.

Plan of Action Mass Panic: Looting: Injuries: Starting Over Criminals: Communication: New Government:
10
Create a plan of action to deal with the issues that will arise after the blast. How will you handle the mass panic? You have a town of 2,000 people who are afraid, how can you help to create order in the chaos? Once it becomes apparent that our currency has no value, how will you address the looting problem? How will your group treat minor injuries of the townspeople or within your group? What about those with long term or terminal illnesses? Research your options for a new system of government? There are several types to choose from, what would work best short term? What about long term? How will your group communicate with each other if they separate? How will you communicate with those in town? Do you have a system in place to attempt to communicate with the possible survivors in the outside world? How will you enforce the laws? How will you deal with criminals in your town?

Academic Sources You may not use Wikipedia as a source for your project. When you are researching fallout/radiation and government types, be careful with what websites you are referencing.
