__**Epidemics vs. Pandemics**__

Now we're going to practice controlling an epidemic. What you're going to do is click the link below and play the game on the website. Basically it's a game where your job is to make decisions based on the videos you watch. Your job will be to try and stop an epidemic from turning to a pandemic (by now you should know what each is and the difference between them). There are questions below that you will need to answer. Please make sure you play the game at least **__THREE TIMES__**. I should receive an email from you with three sets of questions and answers.

Copy and paste these questions into a body of an email and send it to me at olympusenglish@gmail.com:

1. Document each choice you make. Why did you make this choice? (//This will need to be answered multiple times per decision you make//.) **(worth 1 point)** 2. What was the outcome of your choice? How many people died based on your decision? (//This will need to be answered per choice you make as well//.) **(worth 1 point)**

3. Which choice was a "good" choice? Why? Which choice was a "bad" choice? Why? (//Make sure to explain your answers. Please avoid saying, "it was a good choice because people didn't die" or "it was a bad choice because people died//.") **(worth 1 point)**


 * __Answer the following questions AFTER you've played the game three times__: **

4. How many tries at the game did it take you to stop the pandemic? (//If you didn't, go back and play the game until you do. You will need to answer these questions each time you play//.) 5. What did you learn each time you played the game? 6. Did your knowledge of airborne diseases, plagues, epidemics, and pandemics help you decide what to do? How? If not, why not? 7. What did you think about playing the game? Explain why you feel the way you do. 8. How does the situation in the game relate to your life?

DO NOT USE THESE ANSWERS! THEY ARE EXAMPLES AND NOT NECESSARILY DONE IN THE ORDER OF THE GAME!

**Flu Game:**

__Game one__

1. The first choice I made was to vaccinate everyone at Hamlet Towers. I chose this because I thought it made the most sense since people were getting sick there first. The second choice I made was to kill all the birds. The reason why I made that choice was to try and stop the spread of the flu since it was coming from the birds. The third choice I made was to ban hand holding in public. I made this choice to see if maybe germs could stop being shared so much.

2. After my 1st choice, the people of Hamlet Towers got vaccinated. 700 people died. After my 2nd decision, the public got mad at me for killing all the birds. 11,000 people died.

3. I found my first choice to be a good choice because few people died, the epidemic didn't spread, and people were protected against the bird flu. My second choice was a bad choice because people were upset that I killed the birds and my popularity went down and more people got sick anyway.

__Game two__

1. The first choice I made was to keep everyone locked up in Hamlet Towers. I figured it'd be best to keep the flu in once place. (And then explain the rest of your choices...)

2. After my 1st choice, employers were upset that their workers weren't able to come to work. 1000 people died. (Keep explaining...)

3. My 1st choice was a bad choice because people couldn't go to work and the economy couldn't make money. Also, my popularity went down and more people got infected anyway. (Make sure you describe all of your choices...)

4. How many tries at the game did it take you to stop the pandemic? (//If you didn't, go back and play the game until you do. You will need to answer these questions each time you play//.) It took me.....before I stopped the pandemic.

5. What did you learn each time you played the game? After each time I played the game, I learned that.......

6. Did your knowledge of airborne diseases, plagues, epidemics, and pandemics help you decide what to do? How? If not, why not? My knowledge of airborne diseases helped me make better choices because.....

7. What did you think about playing the game? Explain why you feel the way you do. I liked playing the game. The reason why I liked playing the game is because....

8. How does the situation in the game relate to your life? At first I didn't think the game related to my life. After thinking about it, I realized that the game relates to my life because....
