Chapter 15 Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson

Nonfiction Reading:

Work in groups to learn about other things that were related to the Yellow Fever epidemic.  Your group will have a different nonfiction topic to work on.   Topics that groups may pick from may include the following:


  • Yellow Fever (how it impacted the society at that time)
  • Free African Society
  • Bush Hill
  • Dr. Rush
  • George Washington


Use the internet or classroom books to research then record information in your interactive journal (this may take a couple of slides). 

  • Give a brief summary of what you have found about your topic.
  • What was the main point the authors wanted you to get from your findings?
  • Which points did you disagree or find difficult to believe? Why?
  • How does this influence your ideas or how does this give you a better understanding of the novel we are reading?
