Learning Guide Excerpt
To demonstrate how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers to improve lesson plans, we have set out below the Benefits section from the Learning Guide to Outbreak.
Benefits: This film is an excellent motivator to interest children in the study of viruses and viral illness. The path of the virus from host animal to its first victims and from there to an entire community is clearly shown in the film. "Outbreak" also shows different races working together in harmony and the work of the Centers for Disease Control. The movie is an excellent platform for discussions about the responsibility and power of the state to fight infectious disease and about the manner in which people in large organizations should act.
The Learning Guide to the film Outbreak contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
