Fever 1793 Novel Study for Special Education US History Novel Study

Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson is the focus of this novel study for students with autism and special learning needs. It is the story of a girl who survived the yellow fever epidemic in 1793 living in Philadelphia.

Have you ever wanted to read a novel to your special education students but thought they would not sit and listen? Persevere—it is worth it. This 100-page unit on Fever 1793 is designed for special education students.

There are so many benefits to reading out loud to your students. You will teach them an invaluable skill of learning to sit still while someone else is talking. Your parents will also LOVE you for not only teaching them this skill of sitting but also for exposing them to age-appropriate material. Plus, you never know which students you will touch with each story you read.
