Time Out of Joint workshops
(to sign up for a workshop or more info, please scroll down)
Thank you for your interest in Time Out of Joint. We would love to present grant-funded , no-fee workshops to you and your students. Our approach includes paired texts — a Shakespeare scene matched with a ‘Prison Monologue” or a “Personal Monologue”- an original writing by one of our team members. The two have similar themes and spark powerful conversations with students about writing, history, the power of education to change lives, and more.
The workshops are led by compassionate people who became educated in prison and are experts at inspiring students to think about writing and believing in themselves. We always leave room for you, the classroom teacher, to participate and help guide the conversations to fit your subject matter, readings, and more.
We also use primary sources from the Library of Congress website - www.LOC.gov. - like the image to the right which allows students to think about the prison experience and then write about it.
