    Elizabeth Schyuler Hamilton - Student Written

    Hello! Welcome to today’s episode of our quick history podcasts, where we will be discussing the accomplishments of Elizabeth Schyuler Hamilton. The smash hit Broadway play, “Hamilton”, by Lin-Manuel Miranda, recently resurfaced in popularity after being released to the streaming app, Disney+, this June. The play about America’s founding fathers has the world asking questions about America’s founding mothers. This podcast was written by student Gracie Moore. Gracie utilized this assignment to prepare, with the help of the teacher, a podcast about a person that she is passionate about learning about. This is part of a student-teacher co-teaching model, which utilized student co-teaching methods that support greater learning for the student and their peers. Typically the student would also record the podcast, however, she was unable to due to time constraints.  Link to the transcript for students who may need this:  https://classroomlearning.wixsite.com/classroomlearning/post/a-brief-biography-of-elizabeth-schyler-hamilton Sources and more information: https://museum.gwu.edu/eliza-hamilton https://exhibitions.nysm.nysed.gov//albany/bios/s/elschuyleranb.html https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/hamilton-elizabeth-hamilton-1757-1854/
