Description
Introduce your students to the artistic genius of Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of ‘Hamilton’ and ‘In the Heights’, and principal songwriter for Disney’s ‘Moana’ and ‘Encanto’.
Part of my popular, ‘High Interest Informational Text’ series, this no-prep, digital and print lesson includes:
- Hook brainstorming task with video links
- Pre-Reading vocabulary
- Original article on Lin-Manuel Miranda
- Multiple Choice Reading Comprehension
- Short Answer and Extended Response task.
Instead of a simple biography, this lesson focuses on Miranda’s work to promote diversity on the stage and screen, asking students to reflect on the importance of “feeling seen” in popular culture.
This lesson is perfect for ANY drama unit, introduction to the study of ‘Hamilton’, ‘In the Heights’, or ‘Encanto’, or as a stand-alone ELA informational text skill-builder.
I hope this lesson is as fun, rigorous and impactful with your students as it has been with mine! Happy teaching :)
