This learning resource is designed to facilitate an inquiry-based exploration of history and legacy, centered around Lin-Manuel Miranda's portrayal of Alexander Hamilton. It begins with defining an Essential Question to guide the discussion: 'How do our actions and the stories others tell about us create a legacy?' The document includes activities that prompt students to reflect on Miranda’s performance, which presents Hamilton as a 'scrappy hero,' and encourages them to think critically about how storytelling influences perception and legacy. Students will consider initial questions about Hamilton's life and the recording of history, culminating in a connection between performance style and big ideas about legacy and narrative. The structure promotes deep thinking and personal engagement with historical themes.
