Purpose:
To provide an opportunity for students talented in music,writing, art and/or drama to study the evolution of coffee houses and what later became known as a café society.
Expectations:
Students will be expected to research and discuss the history of coffee houses. As a result of their research and discussions, students will choose one of two venues to express themselves through their creation of a “coffee house society.”
Goals:
1. to study the history of coffee houses
2. to determine the various kinds of coffee houses
3. to reproduce a “coffee house” atmosphere
Project:
Choose one or two of the following to prepare for a final presentation.
1. An original composition (instrumental, original lyrics to existing music, original music and lyrics)
2. An original dance
3. an original poem or piece of prose
4. a dramatic monologue about the evolution of coffee houses (eg. Become an historical figure who frequented one of the London “coffee houses”)
5. An art piece that reflects the atmosphere of coffee houses. If you choose to do this, then you must do a monologue to explain why and how your art piece reflects the atmosphere of coffee houses.
6. a dramatic re-enactment to reflect the typical social/political issues of the times
During the Enrichment Program, students must keep up with missed REGULAR class work.
