DESCRIPTION
We will read and discuss Ron Chernow’s Hamilton. Students should come to class meetings having read the assigned chapters and ready to engage in our discussion. We will discuss how Lin Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton differs from the book which inspired it. We will examine primary sources and discuss the process of writing historical biography. Students will be encouraged to share projects of their own devising: an academic paper, a creative representation of a big event in Hamilton’s life: painting, diorama, song, interpretive dance, etc.
Required book: Hamilton by Ron Chernow
Resources it would be nice to have: Federalist Papers, US History Survey textbook
