"I'd like you all to get into groups of three and brainstorm for 5 minutes about 3 different epidemic diseases that you know about. Once you've discussed, I'll ask each group to share a unique epidemic disease that they've come up with."
"Great job, everyone! Now that we're all warmed up and thinking about epidemic diseases, let's begin our discussion. To start, can anyone share a definition of epidemic disease? Anyone?"
"An epidemic disease is a widespread occurrence of an infectious disease in a community at a particular time."
"Excellent! That's exactly right. During today's lecture, we'll be covering the following topics: the history of epidemic diseases, the major causes of epidemic diseases, how to prevent and control epidemic diseases, and some of the most famous epidemics in history. So, let's get started!"
