Alexander Hamilton: The Outsider: Alexander Hamilton's Civic Virtue Presentation

In this lesson, students read portions of Alexander Hamilton: The Outsider by Jean Fritz and will delve into the life and values of Alexander Hamilton, focusing specifically on his embodiment of civic virtue.

Through engaging activities and discussions within the unit, students will gain a deeper understanding of how Hamilton's actions and principles align with the concept of civic virtue and its relationship with contemporary society.

There are three CPALMS lessons that can be used to complement a study of Alexander Hamilton: The Outsider and help students take a new perspective by merging ELA skills with civics knowledge.
