Read Fever, 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson last summer with a group of students in a virtual book club. Naturally, it led us to a compare/contrast discussion. We all came away grateful not to be living through the yellow fever outbreak in Philadelphia the summer of that year. We had some great discussions! Wish now that I had brought up the plague as well...
Thank you, Annette (and Hoosen!), for another informative bit of history. I look forward to your e-mails!
Thank you, Melisa! Fun Fact: Hoosen composes and plays the music. Don't tell him I said so. 🎵
Wow! He is definitely a man of many talents! You two make a great team! :-)

Another great podcast.

Great book, and so glad you engaged students in it. And yes, this where historical context really comes in handy!
Excellent - very sobering. Something to remember, when so many are behaving like spoiled brats about the help available to them ...
You might say that. I couldn't possibly comment.
