U.S. History

We listened to and took notes on the remaining songs from Hamilton, and on the bottom of that note page where it indicates "Reflective Questions," answer the following (bullet points is fine):  1.  Who was your favorite person in the musical and why.  2. What did you learn about U.S. History from the musical?  3. What questions do you have.  I provided a bit of fact-check information to clarify which items were artistic liberty in telling the story in a small space of time versus historical fact -- copy these from a reliable classmate.  I shared an outline of the monarchy history from George III through to Princes William and Harry and offered as CQ for students to look up (later, at CQ time) the missing names in my list.  I then played the first 1:36 of a clip of Prince Harry on stage after the London premier of Hamilton.  Reminder that tomorrow will be our Socratic discussion over Hamilton.  In 4th hour students stapled their Ccourse #7 paper (returned yesterday) to their E.Q. page.
