Question
What was the poem about? How did it affect Mr Keesing?
Solution
Mr Keesing had assigned Anne to write an essay on, ‘Quack, Quack, Quack, Said Mistress Chatterbox’. Anne decided to write the essay in verse and she wrote a beautiful poem. It was about a mother duck and a father swan with three baby ducklings who were bitten to death by the father because they quacked too much.
Mr Keesing understood Anne's message in the poem and took it in the right way. He read the poem to the class. He also added his own comments. Moreover, he allowed Anne to talk in the class and stopped assigning her extra homework.
