Genre+Reflection+2

This is a series of 4 haikus about a student who claimed that a spelling word was incorrectly marked wrong. I graded the test and the CT and I actually discussed how the student used the wrong word in a sentence and that it should be marked wrong. After the tests were handed back, the student changed the word and brought it to us to tell us it was marked wrong. We said no we had discussed that the wrong word was there. The student came back at lunch trying to get us to change it again.

The word was not there I marked it wrong – minus eight He changes the word

He wants the points now She and I talked about it The answer is no

He insists – again We remember the wrong word We know that it is changed

We stand by the NO He leaves the room in anger Disappointment Stays
