Alien Invaders
Imagine that alien invaders have taken over the country and settled in the cities.

All adults have been evacuated from cities and have been taken to remote areas in the north. Only children under fifteen years of age have been held back to be trained as obedient servants of the aliens. Against your wishes, you were detained along with your friends and placed in a training centre. The alien trainers are harsh and unreasonable, often taunting you and your friends about the strangeness of your human appearance. Assuming that life any place else must be better or at least tolerable, you and your friends decide to escape and relocate with your families. However, when the group gathers together to make the great escape, you experience the cold sweat of fear because you know what happens to fugitives who are caught.

Task: Create a newspaper account or a news report giving an account of the evacuation of the people from your city. Discuss how people were crammed into railroad cars and transferred up north.
