--Will receive a ready-to-go lesson you can use today: Everyone admires Lin Manuel Miranda who is practically a national treasure. But how much do your students actually know about his journey to Broadway and rise to fame? By using this lesson, they'll have a greater appreciation of this talented man.
---Will introduce the uses of biographies to study growth mindset: It's important our students to study live theater artists who they can relate to in present day situations.
