What happens when 7th grade science teachers team up with their middle school librarian to read Laurie Halse Anderson’s Fever 1793 and research the yellow fever epidemic? KA-POW! Students become engaged scientists investigating historical fiction through a scientific lens as they uncover the historical impacts, environmental conditions, progression of symptoms, and treatment of yellow fever. Participants will discover and strengthen their own collaborative superpowers as they interact with this project-based learning unit.
