Reporting

five seven then five
syllables mark our haikus
reporting to you

essential knowings
for our seventh grade students:
selected fab four

not Beatles but core
four guaranteed things to learn
to test, teach, retest

first term spent giving
mastery connect pretests
then instruction blitz

fact and opinion
students mostly knew it all
not much to do there

new, harder target
on coordinate commas
hint: use "and" instead

theme and evidence
brought mixed results, so lots of
practice to master

fourth goal: paragraphs
central idea, support,
transitions, conclude.

rubrics with mas-try
connect writing with testing
generate data

will successful kids
write odes to tests or to us?
that we've yet to see
