Zombie Land – Terror at the Fun Fair
Highly engaging, zombie creative writing diary lesson, in which students work from a given scenario in order to write their own engaging horror story.
The scenario:
It started out as a fun night at the fairground. You and a group of friends letting your hair down and unwinding after a hard week at school.
However, soon it becomes clear that something is not quite right. A cold wind blows a chill into the night and you hear strange noises over the beat of fairground music.
Suddenly, an eerie darkness descends and all goes quiet. Fairground rides come to a standstill and wild groans and screaming can be heard over the chatter of panic.
You and a friend are stuck on the ghost train and desperately trying to find your way outside in the darkness. Outside, it is only then that you realise that the real terror has only just begun.
