This was difficult to place in a rubric.
Exam Question: "This article is an example of SATIRE. In a paragraph, explain how the author uses humor to expose or criticize peoples faults or vices."
DeAndre's Answer: "I realy dont know what satire is so I will not be able to do this part of the test
SORRY!
Great Teaching This Year...!"
Hmm... I do like the pathos of his appeal to my teaching sensitivity (read: arrogance) here.

Hm. Well, he gets partial credit because he did adequately demonstrate irony.
Or he attempted to mock your teaching through the asynchronous admission that he didn't learn a part of the class while complimenting your teaching.
These kids have such a phenomenal/subconscious knack for irony, it's amazing more of them don't pass that test.
Yet another example of "READ the question" THIS is an example of Satire. It's so wild how we are wont to complentely miss something like that because we are too busy thinking about the answer or the response. I'm so completely guilty of this. I'm a horrible direction reader and I tend to "wait to talk" rather than listen.
