해밀턴의 여성들은 누구였을까: 엘리자, 앤젤리카, 페기 스카일러

In this multi-day class, we will discuss the real lives of the women in the American musical about the life of Alexander Hamilton.  We will study the Schuyler sisters, Mariah Reynolds, Alexander's Mom, and look at fashion of the time!

The women of early American history are often forgotten because they weren't allowed to play a role in the Revolutionary War or politics the way their male counterparts did.  While Lin-Manuel Maranda displayed strong female characters in Hamilton: An American Musical, there wasn't enough time to explain their lives entirely.  

We will take a closer look at the lives of Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, her sisters, Angelica and Peggy,  Maria Reynolds, and Hamilton's mother,  Rachel Faucette.  We will discuss their real lives, how they were connected to Alexander Hamilton and early American history.  We will also talk about what Hamilton: An American Musical got correct, and what it got wrong.  We will also get a chance to look at types of clothes these women would have worn, as well as, what they would have worn under those fabulous gowns.  

This class would be a great for anyone that is interested in early American history, famous American women, or any fan of Hamilton: An American Musical.  We will read or listen to small exerts of some of the songs that feature each character from the Hamilton musical. This will include "The Schuyler Sisters", "A Winters Ball", "Satisfied", "Who Lives Who Dies Who Tells Your Story".

At the end of the first lesson, students will receive a link to Women of Hamilton Bonus Virtual Classroom to learn more about what life was like for the women of Hamilton.  Bonus materials include Alexander's goodbye letter to Eliza, the women of Hamilton's grave sites, slavery at the Schuyler mansion, information about the homes of Eliza Hamilton, 18th century fashion, and more!  

I run an open class, where students will be encouraged to ask questions and state their opinion.  While participation in the group discussion is encouraged, it is not enforced.

Ms. Sirena’s Online Class Policies:
At the start of every new section, I will need to verify Learner identification.  Your learner will need to turn on their video at the beginning of class unless they have already verified with Outschool Safety and have a green check mark next to their name.  After verification, the Learner is free to turn off their camera for the remainder of class.  

I know all of my Learners live busy lives.  I allow eating and drinking in my class, as long as it doesn’t become a distraction to the other Learners. 

I expect all of my Learners to respect everyone in class.  It is okay to disagree with others, but it is not okay to insult other’s world views. 

REFUND POLICIES:
This multi-day class has a limited refund policy: full refund until a week in advance, or within 24 hours of purchase (until class starts). 

As per Outschool policy, if no Learners show up to class after 10 minutes of start time, I will log out of the classroom.  Student no shows may not entitle you to a class refund.  However, I understand that life events happen.  If there is an emergency causing your student to miss class.
