Students love this musical because of its hopeful theme. "The Sun will come up, Tomorrow!" Many historical lessons about the time period in which the musical is set, The Great Depression, can be taught while exploring this musical.
In this lesson you will find-
1). How to find the 1982 musical to watch it.
2). 20 questions with answer key about the plot of the musical.
3). 11 Creative Extension ideas to further explore the theme of the musical (hope) that include creative writing, role play, class projects, art projects, song analysis, theme-based essays, multi-media presentations and more.
4). A history section that includes a 5-minute YouTube video about the Great Depression and teacher discussion points for learning more about the Great Depression. You'll find research project ideas, primary source analysis ideas, comparative essays, and ideas for guest speakers who were impacted by the Great Depression either directly or as a child of a parent who grew up during the Great Depression.
This unit can take up to two or three weeks depending on how often you see your students and for how long you see them.
