Coffee House


Coffee House Sample Agenda

This template is from a larger workshop booklet by Berrien and Macomb ISDs.

 

Topic: Pick something short that students could share in a round-robin fashion. Poetry definitely lends itself well to this format; however, other work such as issue posters, short stories, essays, and other short works.

 

Time frame: You will need a class period or two prior to the connection to help students prepare, and a one to two hour videoconference.

 

Preparation: Have students write/create the work they will show. Have them practice with the mic if necessary.

 

Agenda: Often this type of event is done through a morning or through lunch hours (11-2-ish). You’ll need a moderator to facilitate an open mic session and call on the participating schools round-robin if you have more than one school participating.
