Answer Key
Teachers Love It!
- “My students love the structure of the questions and love the vocabulary exercises. They work in pairs for word searches and have fun. The lessons have written reading comprehension questions, which we are focusing on this year using text evidence.” – Bonnie S.
- “Fantastic resource full of different level items and questions! I'm using this with a small group of students and they have been enjoying reading the book! Thank you! :)” – Heather G.
How is the Novel Study Organized?
When creating these guides, the activities are written so that they could be used as individual activities or as a packet that could be given to an independent reading group. The activities are a mix of close reading questions and engaging writing activities. Vocabulary is emphasized heavily.
This guide is broken down into "days" plus after the book activities. Two - three chapters are covered in one "day" although the classroom teacher could provide more than one class period for the activities to be completed.
If using this book as an independent work packet, copy the activities for each student and place the copies in a binder. During class, students can take the binder and easily see what they need to complete as a checklist is provided for each day. Students could be required to turn in certain activities, or the teacher could grade the activities in the binder.
If using this as a whole class activity, the teacher should simply select which activities to use and copy the desired pages.
Why Read Fever 1793?
Fever 1793 is an excellent book to use with High 5th - 8th grades. The story is highly engaging. This story is set during the post-revolutionary time period and gives students an idea of life in Philadelphia during the 1790s. The author uses a lot of foreshadowing to hook the reader.
The main character changes a lot from the beginning of the novel until the end, making this book excellent for character analysis and discussing how events affect a character.
