Outbreak, infectious disease
A deadly virus is transmitted from Africa to the United States and threatens to cause a pandemic. Outbreak is the story of how the disease is transmitted from a host animal and how the Centers for Disease Control mobilizes to fight the ensuing epidemic. The film can supplement courses on biology and health.

The TeachWithMovies.com Learning Guide to Outbreak will help parents and teachers interest children in the study of viruses, introduce some of the ways that a virus travels from an animal host, first to one human and then to an entire community, and reveal some of the ways in which modern society responds to threats from viruses.

To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below the Benefits section of 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 has many other positive features. It shows different races working together in harmony, the role of the Centers for Disease Control in containing the spread of infectious disease, the power of society to quarantine persons infected with virulent pathogens, and divorced people who still care for each other. The film also explores the question of whether people exposed to contagious diseases can be killed to protect society as a whole and gives an example of how some people in large organizations can deal ethically with the pressures that are sometimes placed on them.


The Learning Guide to Outbreak also 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.
