 * Imagine if you could go back in time to 1793 when the yellow fever epidemic was occurring in Philadelphia? Well, guess what? ABC News just bought the new time machine that Magnavox has come out with! ABC News needs a new news crew to travel in their time machine and report events from the past. ABC News wants to go back to Philadelphia in 1793 and report on the yellow fever epidemic and they are looking for the next great news team to do this. It is your job as a news crew to get the down and dirty on the yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia based on a certain scene from //Fever, 1793// and an interview with one of the characters on the scene. It is a reporters job to draw in the viewers at home and really make them feel like they are on the scene with you and know exactly what is going on, evoke some feelings into your viewers, make them grab the nearest box of Kleenex tissues to wipe their noses! They can't/don't want to be there, so at least make them feel like they are from watching your report. You get the hint, make the scene you are reporting on exciting and interesting (while being true to the text). The best news report will receive a place at ABC News as the new news team reporting events from the past by traveling through their time machine. ||
