Marcel's poetry roundtable was on odes and he chose John Keats. We listened to an mp3 of the poem and then read Marcel's papers. We discussed the poem and students used their cell phones to look up some of the cruxes, such as "Hippocrene" and "dryad."
After the roundtable, students were given a worksheet about the funnel opening. The instructor went through the worksheet and then we watched a video that gave examples of the funnel opening statements going from general to specific.
