I-35 7th graders are in the middle of their epidemic unit in ELA. They have used text evidence to support the habits of characters the epidemiologists have in order to fight the diseases and help citizens around them. For the past week they have been studying Typhoid. The students are using evidence from the book to argue whether or not Mary Mallon “Typhoid Mary” was a victim of an unjust society or was a villain who knew she was spreading Typhoid wherever she went. There have been great conversation to support both sides of this argument!
