Description
Part of a Bundle The Broadway Tony Award Winner Hadestown is a fantastic, musical which intertwines two classic Greek myths into a love story. Students use a study guide to learn about the show's origin, creative team, plot, trivia, songs and end with an enrichment assignment which can be completed individually or in a group.
This one to three day lesson can stand alone or be combined with one of my Famous Artist Biographies (Lin Manuel Miranda) or other musical lessons (Wicked, Dear Evan Hansen).
The teacher will need access to YouTube.com
Note: Included in this products is a digital version which I created for you. I split up the students' pages and added answer boxes to the questions sheet. I hope this helps.
Need a quick emergency lesson plan? Or one for a substitute? Everything is provided for the busy teacher.
