Have you ever done a really big/important school project? That’s what I’m doing right now in school. This project is called Capstone. Capstone is a project where you create a presentation or movie about a topic that you are passionate about. For Capstone you have to have a lot of research, conduct an interview for your topic, do a site visit, and create a movie or a presentation. For my Capstone topic I have decided to research is the musical Hamilton.
I have known I was going to choose Hamilton for a couple of months now. I decided to do Hamilton because I am very passionate about it and when I saw the show I immediately loved it. Also, after the show started, I began to do research on Alexander Hamilton. I quickly became very interested in how the show was created and where Lin Manuel Miranda (the person who wrote Hamilton) got his inspirations from. Lin Manuel Miranda told Hamilton’s story through rap, hip-hop, pop, and rock music. I have now learned all the lyrics to all the songs. Lin Manuel Miranda took a pedestrian part of history and turned it into an awesome Broadway show. I found this so amazing that I chose this as my topic.
Your start is great. I love your intro! Everything is really good.
I really like that you start with a question. This blog post was so detailed and so good. Great job!
I like that you told what Capstone is and that you really explained why you chose Hamilton as your topic.
I admire how you crafted your blog post to be a very interesting piece of writing. I enjoyed learning why and just how important the musical, “Hamilton,” is to you. I’m really looking forward to your final project and learning more about the play.
