Chapter 6 notes are due today -- time was given to collaborate on themes. Chapter 7 notes are due this Friday! Students took a few notes onto their EQ #2 while I shared a very short slideshow to give us context & lens on Hamilton: An American Musical. A while-listening note packet was distributed to the students and prepared together with a song of sample notes recorded; as we listen to the soundtrack, students will record the thesis and key details from each song. (Tomorrow we'll do a second song sample of notes and some color-coded dates additions; we ran out of time today.) A characters list was provided as an aid as was a packet of the lyrics. We will hold a scored Socratic discussion at the conclusion of our listening analysis of the musical.
