Spelling Rules for the Zombie Apocalypse
In my other life I am a college lecturer, teaching 16-19 year olds, many of whom do not have English as their first language. In order to help them engage with the language I try to make the (potential) tedium of learning a little more visually stimulating (at least when I have the time!). This is one such attempt. A large number of my students are currently obsessed with The Walking Dead so I thought I would attempt something along similar lines but with a little learning thrown in for good measure (other than that which we learn from the show itself).
Spelling rules for the zombie apocalypse? Yes, I know – good spelling is the last thing one would probably consider during this sort of extinction level event (the nonsense of it appealed to me). I suspect that I had more fun making it than my students will have working through it!
As frequent readers of Kuriositas will know, I love animation but my own skills are somewhat lacking, so please forgive the amateur nature of the video above!
