Hamilton Movie Viewing Guide & Research Worksheet *Print & Go Prep*

Add an element of fun to your American Revolution unit with this Hamilton Movie Viewing Guide and Research Worksheet!
**
This movie can be used as a review of the American Revolution and the viewing guide is designed to help insure that students are paying attention and thinking about the information presented in the film.

The Viewing Guide is three pages and splits the movie into six parts. (The parts are labeled for you on the Viewing Guide.) Once your students have completed the Movie Viewing Guide, they can move on to the one page Research Worksheet.

On the Research Worksheet, your students will be asked to compare certain events from the movie to the actual historical events and compare/contrast the movie’s portrayal to the historical events.

How the Lesson Works:
★ The Viewing Guide is split into four sections:

Part 1 - Ends after “You’ll Be Back”
Part 2 - Ends after “That Would Be Enough”
Part 3 - Ends after “Non-Stop” at Intermission
Part 4 - Ends after “Washington on Your Side”
Part 3 - Ends after “The Reynolds Pamphlet”
Part 4 - Ends at the end of the musical

★ The Review Worksheet is designed to be completed after students have viewing the movie in its entirety.

Required Materials:
★ Disney+ Streaming Service
