Fever, 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson

A chapter book that is a great way to introduce adolescent children to historical fiction. As a read aloud, it will permit students of all reading levels to access the story content. This book provides an opportunity to integrate a variety of subject areas. Think about a webquest as a way to develop a child's background knowledge or schema of the subject prior to reading. (Since prior knowledge is essential for the comprehension of new information, teachers either need to help students build the prerequisite knowledge, or remind them of what they already know before introducing new material)
