Q2 on a real source for the first time (June 2023 insert, Source A, the June 2023 Q2 — unchanged for 2027), plus the fairground story continued. Starter: asked for the Q2 chain cold she replied "what is Q2"; after a one-line reminder she ran the full chain on 'gnawed' (word → pier locked in a battle with the sea → reader feels it has gone on for ages), typing 'here' for pier. Q2 under a ten-minute clock, unaided: three relevant quotes from the right lines but no chain on any — feature list ("lots of description, verbs and nouns, lots of commas"), ~2/8 (L1); 'course' for coarse. One chain then rebuilt with support over three prompts on 'symptoms of a skin disease' → ugly → the reader steps back, reaching roughly L2; 'feel is in pain' dropped 'it'. Remaining two chains not done; the five-word spelling starter not run — both stop at the block end. Story: asked to name one nearby ride she wrote the whole entertainment-tent node; 'the bash of rubber' from the bumper cars is the first named-source sound (W1.2), one correct semicolon, one garbled sentence, 'center'. Diary confirmed as a reader branch; mint and hide/stay branches now open. Her two lines: "I did a exam question and a another paragraph of my story. I don't know what's next."
FIRST: finish Q2 on June 2023 Source A — the remaining two chains, unaided, ten minutes, using her own 'skin disease' chain as the model; then the five-word spelling list (friend, suddenly, happened, laughter, meanwhile) from memory, owed since 15 Sep. Starter, no notes: name the three chain steps, run the chain on 'clawed'. Then the story: fix the spotlight sentence and 'center', then the mint / hide-or-stay branch with W2.2 (one character by one detail). Do not supply the method label; do not accept a quote without a chain. Timed description outing still due ~29 Sep.
Q2 on June 2023 Source A: one chain of three built (supported); two chains not written. Five-word spelling starter (friend, suddenly, happened, laughter, meanwhile) not run. Next session opens on both.
| Topic | Name | Change | Evidence recorded |
|---|---|---|---|
| R2.1 | Not started → Not started | 18 Sep, June 2023 Source A Q2, 10 min unaided: 3 quotes chosen from the right lines, 0 chains, ~2/8 L1. One chain then built with 3 prompts ('skin disease' -> ugly -> reader steps back), ~L2. Starter chain on 'gnawed' ran fully after a reminder of what Q2 is. Not yet a full supported answer at the band below target. | |
| R2.2 | Not started → Not started | 18 Sep: asked to name the method before it was offered, on a real source; none named on any of 3 quotes. Third session without an independent method label. Feature list given instead ('lots of description, verbs and nouns, lots of commas'). | |
| W1.2 | Developing → Developing | 18 Sep, untimed own story: 'the bash of rubber' from the bumper cars - a named source and one particular sound, written before the prompt for the ride was answered. First specific sound after three sessions of categories. Untimed, own text; needs a second on a timed unseen piece. | |
| T5.2 | Not started → Not started | 18 Sep, typed: 'here' for pier (starter), 'course' for coarse (timed Q2), 'feel is in pain' with 'it' dropped (supported chain), 'center' for centre (story). Noun-only reread instructed on the timed answer; 'course' survived it. Five-word spelling list not tested today. |
