The Scribe of the Day
By Lidsay Centeno
I’m sorry Blanca I mean to say
for copying your poetic ways.
But your technique was fun and true
that I had to try writing a poem too.
So now with no further a do
here is the scribe I have written for you.
I will explain without delay
all the things we did that day.
The class began with a quiz
so Nora and Rob got down to biz.
The competition got down to size
when they announced there would be a prize.
Many questions were answered that day
but only one winner was truly at play
and that was Francheska who Nora and Rob honored
by giving her the well deserved and amazing dollar.
And just when we were having so much fun
we soon realized that their scribe was done.
Back to the class we had to go
to keep on with our educational flow.
The great debate of this week
was where we were going to meet
and since no one knew what to say
we are meeting in this classroom today.
“Winds of Change” we had discussed
and opinions rose without any fuss.
Some students from this reading had stated
that teaching techniques are not gold plated.
If teaching writing was what you aspired
techniques and abilities you must acquire.
You have to decline teaching the same old thing
and instead teaching students materials with a swing.
If some topics you do not know much
that shouldn’t be a topic you should touch.
You must be a teacher that truly cares
and not teach things of which you are not aware.
The truth and reality of the matter is
that a PhD does not make you a wiz.
This assumption has held teaching and learning back
by assuming that all degrees are white and black.
Coon had more or less the same idea
that not much change has been made real.
He states that some teachers wont make a change
because changing tradition is just purely strange.
I think that we all agreed
that Berlin was a drag to read.
And before we could say anything more
it was time to walk out the door.
Before our ritualistic class closing
we numbered traits writers should be owning.
They should have a point and perfect writing
and know their message shouldn’t be hiding.
All and all that’s all we revised
I hope you all enjoyed my scribe.
