Hamilton Listening Comprehesion and Analysis of Motifs Activity
Use this worksheet packet to introduce advanced drama students to the musical Hamilton. The first page introduces the characters and the concept of musical motifs. Students fill in the chart as they listen and identify each characters' motif. There is also questions to a interview with Lin-Manuel Miranda, the writer, to introduce the musical. The last pages require students to summarize each song's contribution to the plot.

Teaching style
Whether in my English Language Arts or Drama lessons I strive to foster creativity, critical thinking, and independence in my students. Through cooperative learning and applying the Gradual Release of Responsibility, students are able to explore the subjects of Literature and Theatre independently, with the security of a safety net in the support found in my lessons.
