Description
In this lesson, students learn interesting facts about the modern Broadway composers, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein and their work, as they complete several projects including a WebQuest (Internet Scavenger Hunt) to answer questions about the topic. A complete answer key is provided for the WebQuest for easy grading, along with resources for both teachers and students. The student questions are included in both a print version and a digital (editable) version to make it easy for students to complete the lesson digitally or on paper. Then, students research their choice of one of their famous musicals and create a presentation about it using their choice of Microsoft PowerPoint or Google Slides. If you prefer, students can work on the presentation project in partners or in a small group.
