Reminder -- Chapter 6 reading and notes (all 30 pages of the reading) are due next Tuesday. We discussed the thesis spots and addressing the counterarguments spots in The Declaration. We then began use of Hamilton: An American Musical for historical analysis. View the Hamilton Context & Lens slideshow and add notes to EQ#2 where indicated in the slideshow (just 2 of the slides). Then, view the short Lin-Manuel Miranda video performance of song #1 at a White House poetry jam while Hamilton was in it's creation phase to get a sense of the energy. Pick up or print out a notes page and a character list then use them to record brief, but complete notes of the historical facts from each song #1-3; you will want a lyrics packet in front of you most likely to aid comprehension. (We'll pick up with #4 tomorrow.) Note that these 46 sets of mini-notes will be used in the near future for a scored Socratic discussion and the UCWP.
