Beautiful Agitators

OBJECTIVES

StoryWorks seeks to support educators by identifying content areas that have a lack of educational resources. StoryWorks is committed to expanding upon academic standards by further developing content related to civic engagement, justice, agency, equity, diversity and constructive discourse. Our curricula combines inquiry with higher-order thinking of analysis,evaluation and synthesis.The theater component works to give students a more intimate and immersive experience as they witness the events unfold. This work is based in the investigation of primary sources and their relationship to critical moments and attitudes in American history. In emphasizing historical context, we help educators establish a foundation from which to guide students to find contemporary parallels. This process engages learners in the active reflection of how the legacy of these pivotal moments informs the struggles that we, as citizens, continue to grapple with today.
