The Hidden Killers: Deadly Viruses Jenner and Pasteur Virus Basics Military Uses Marburg/Ebola Outbreak	Outbreak The movie, Outbreak, would be a super culmination of class work done on viruses. The movie uses terms that have been studied, in a "real" situation. The Center for Disease Control, in Atlanta and the work that it does become more comprehensible. The military uses of viruses are played out and are deathly "real". The movie is entertaining as it brings the concepts read and discussed in class into a possible real life scenario. The time is well worth spending on this movie. Encourage answering the questions while viewing the movie. This helps students view in a more active and critical way than the general passive viewing to which they may be accustomed. This can be a very active viewing experience!
