Contagion

Ever been excited to watch a film within the context of a class, only to be burdened with a mundane worksheet. A well designed movie worksheet should compliment the experience, not detract from it. We will publish a final version as a class! ||
 * [[image:explorebio/Contagion_graphic_1280x1024.jpg width="160" height="127"]] ||  || Your challenge will be to design a worksheet for the movie Contagion that:
 * 1) Builds anticipation for important concepts, moments, or points in the film.
 * 2) Inspires discussion and developing a personal position.
 * 3) Inspires students to want to learn more about the topic / concepts in order to solve a complex question or problem.

Has examples of typical movie sheets created by teachers for films. Some are great, some are awful. Find a movie you have watched in school and explore worksheets for that movie. Does any part of any of the sheets meet the criteria above?
