My Latest Musical Unit- Newsies the Musical! Child Labor Laws and Labor Unions in the USA

Newsies the Musical is one of the most entertaining live Broadway musicals of our generation, and even better, watching the musical gives us numerous opportunities to teach about history, child labor laws in the US, and labor unions.
In this Newsies unit, you will find:
1). 19 questions that cover the plot. You can have students complete the questions as they watch the musical, or you can use it as a quiz after they finish.
2). Eight extension activities are included.  Choose at least one of them to extend their knowledge.  Some of the extension activities may take several class periods to complete.  If you do all eight of them, this unit could last 2-3 weeks or more depending on how often and for how long you see your students.  Activities include creative writing, role-playing, researching various strikes in US history for comparisons and contrasts, discussions, reflection writing, class projects, creating newspapers, and more.
