 *  Summary of the Lesson: After reading and finishing the historical/fiction novel // Fever 1793 //, the teacher will lead a discussion on the novel and students thoughts. The teacher will then direct students to the Appendix of the book in which several explanations are written about historical events that occurred during 1793 and the yellow fever epidemic. Next, the teacher will assign the students to read through the appendix and mark down any topics that are of interest to them. The students will be divided into pairs and each pair will discuss and select a topic from the appendix of the book. The team will use the library and internet to do research on that topic as well as use the information from the appendix to develop a presentation about the topic they have studied.
