The learner answered two no-notes starter questions (anti-climax right; 'attitude' half right) and then stopped for the timed paper before the three-quotation task was answered. Ran early against the 15:30 reading block at her request, 14:21 to about 14:36: she opened by saying she would sit the paper later; the paper then became ready and she left to sit it, saying she would return. Starter, one question per message, capped at 14:30 by the clock: (1) anti-climax defined cold as the hype in a story not being worth it, 1/1, reply in about 4 minutes; (2) what a question means by a writer's attitude: feelings named, but given as 'a quote' and with no mention of the topic - partial; the definition was given once by the tutor and not said back. Spellings meant, different and attitude were not set (cap reached). Main task set at 14:31: three quotations from the June 2017 paper's question 2 box (Rosabel's bus journey, lines 6-14), one fixed as the plain sentence about her wet feet, ten minutes, no step words in the instruction - not answered. 3 items set, 2 answered, 0 blank; the third was stopped, not skipped. No writing evidence today. Two closing lines not written. V4.1 notstarted -> gap under the touched-means-moved rule. The three-quotation rehearsal that the exam-practice plan asked for before today's sitting did not run.
FIRST, the same task, set 7 Oct and not answered: open the June 2017 paper, page 3, the box under question 2 (Rosabel on the bus) and explain three quotations showing what the journey is like for her; one must be 'Her feet were horribly wet'; ten minutes by the clock; no step words in the instruction; do not ask for the step names. THEN, no notes, one per message: type meant (mean + t), different (differ + ent) and attitude after each aid; write what 'attitude' means as her own one-line rule (what the writer thinks and feels about the topic in the question). NEXT WRITING BLOCK: the fairground story, mint / hide-or-stay branch - teach 'one character shown by one chosen detail' first with a resource, then one paragraph per exchange; starter there: spell source, tracks, actually. NEXT TIMED HANDWRITTEN PIECE (about 20 Oct): a description; four things on the plan before the timer; the paragraph line as its own message, typed back; third check: the letter after each comma.
Three quotations on the bus extract (June 2017 paper, question 2 box, lines 6-14), one being 'Her feet were horribly wet', ten minutes, no step words: set 14:31, not answered - she left for the timed paper. Spellings meant, different, attitude not set. Two closing lines not written.
| Topic | Name | Change | Evidence recorded |
|---|---|---|---|
| R3.1 | Developing → Developing | 7 Oct starter, cold, no notes: 'An anticlimax is when all the hype in the story is not worth it.' Build-up and let-down both present, 1/1 at first reply (25 Sep needed two tries and sharpening). Retrieval of the term only; no structure paragraph today. | |
| V4.1 | Not started → Gap | 7 Oct starter, cold: asked what a question means by a writer's attitude - 'A quote where the writer uses the story to express their feelings.' Feelings right (1 of 3 parts); attitude given as a quotation; the topic the question names absent. Explained 2 Oct; told again today, not said back. Answered below the bar -> gap (touched means moved); the comparing shape itself is still untaught. | |
| R2.1 | Developing → Developing | 7 Oct: set, not answered - three quotations from June 2017 lines 6-14 (bus journey), one fixed as the plain sentence 'Her feet were horribly wet', ten minutes, no step words; set at 14:31 and she left for the timed paper before replying. No evidence either way. |
