1. Fever Model of a RevolutionUnit 3 lesson 1.5 What differences are there between the beginning, the height of the flu, and the end? Describe the progression of an illness like the flu.

2. Fever Model of Revolution Much like an illness, revolutions can also be studied in stages

3. Incubation Stage

4. In an Illness A person becomes infected with illness Symptoms haven’t started In a Revolution Range of long term causes - political, social, economic, intellectual Can fester for years without any action Incubation Stage

5. Symptomatic Stage

6. In an Illness Starts to show symptoms in an observable way Cough, temperature may rise, may feel weak and queasy In a Revolution Direct action resulting from issues in incubation stage May include publication of works demand change, riots, or other direct responses to problems Symptomatic Stage

Convalescence Stage

12. Your Turn • Draw 4 boxes and label them: • incubation phase • symptomatic phase • crisis phase • convalescence or recovery phase • Now: • write down the things you think were part of the incubation phase of the American Revolution • You must have at least 5 things

13. Create a chart

14. things that can go into the Incubation Phase

15. 5 things that can go into the Symptoms Phase

16. Now add things that would go in the Crisis Phase box
