Alien Invasion

Source

In a vocabulary class we covered words related to emergency situations, evacuation plans, and the like. I gave me students an assignment in which they had to write an emergency plan in case of an alien invasion.

Some of their suggestions, in no particular order, include:

• Steal the alien technology and destroy the aliens with their own technology.
• In case you fail to escape, disguise yourself as an alien.
• Find something that the aliens like and negotiate your get-away.
• Flee to the mountains; basement, subway.
• Flee to the underground subways.
• Fight back mercilessly.
• Don't attack them without a good strategy.
• Enlist in the military
• Learn the alien language
• Pledge your allegiance to them

Some things that students think imperative to include in their survival kits include:

• Canned food (obviously)
• Perfume (to hide your smell from not washing)
• Chocolates (for bribing aliens)
• Digital cameras (to take pictures of the aliens)
• Extra underwear
• Alien anti-biotics
• MP3-player
