-complete Kestrel for a Knave reading assessment with textual evidence.

__Periods 4-5__

Students will engage in a discussion of setting and historical context and will have table talks attempting to discern the setting of the book. Students will then try to incorporate textual evidence into answers for a reading quiz. (This is an introduction to using text-based evidence to support answering questions so ti will be a challenge.) The remaining questions will be homework. Watch trailer of the film Kes in order to better understand the setting and characters of the book.

__Periods 8-9__ Research activity Even though the solution to the problem of smallpox (the vaccine) was discovered in 1796, it would take another 180 years before the disease was eradicated. The purpose of this task is to answer the following questions: • Why did it take so long to eradicate smallpox after the discovery of the vaccination? • Who was persistent in their fight against smallpox?

Work in table groups. Each group will read a selection of the 38 entries on the timeline on the website below. These describe the persistent attempts to tackle smallpox through effective vaccination between 1800 and 1926. http://www.historyofvaccines.org/content/timelines/smallpox This website provides a detailed timeline of the way in which the smallpox vaccine was developed but also information about significant obstacles in the way of its widespread use.
