What happened

Ran the 11:00 set-text block 11:02-11:35 finishing session 35's work; stopped at her "and times up" with the context clause (test #14) set but not attempted. Starter 3/3 attempted, 2/3 exact, no notes: inscription exact with colon and exclamation mark (fourth clean session); 'Ozymandias' spelled correctly (wrong yesterday); London first line with thro'/charter'd but 'wonder' for 'wander'. Retype: 'wander' correct, 'streat' again then 'street' after a memory aid. Exit ticket done from memory: both/A/B landed one angle per poem unaided (Shelley irony, Blake 'more upfront'); the 'so' clause was missing, then 'the reader can see the control in diffrent ways'; narrowed to a feeling per king: 'owned' for Blake unaided, 'I don't know' for Shelley on the open form, 'amused' from a binary choice; final sentence complete with both. Draft 5 pasted with Blake's full line inserted (unasked-for today, after three asks yesterday), because/controlled/different correct, 'while' fixed. Remaining faults not yet named: comma splice before 'Shelley's king', 'Which shows' fragment, 'showed' tense. 9 items set, 9 attempted, 0 blank. Context clause unhinted (test #14) not attempted; two-line close not written.

Planned next

FIRST: the context clause on the comparison paragraph, no shape hint, wait a full attempt (test #14, still unrun). Starter, no notes: London first line (check wander), 'marks of weakness, marks of woe', spell different and street. Then two fixes on draft 5, one per message, 60 seconds each: the comma splice before "Shelley's king", then "Which shows" joined to its sentence. Then her two-line close. Then the K3.2 test: narrowed structural question on a fresh London feature, then the open form. Still blocked on Macbeth, ACC and AIC text work until the text-knowledge sessions start.

What this session changed

TopicNameChangeEvidence recorded
K4.2Developing → DevelopingExit ticket from memory: both/A/B/so comparison sentence on control, one angle per poem unaided (irony / upfront), effect per king reached (owned unaided, amused after a binary choice). Starter 2/3 exact.
P1.01Developing → DevelopingStarter: inscription exact with colon and exclamation mark, no notes, fourth clean session; 'Ozymandias' spelled correctly. No new unaided paragraph.
P1.02Gap → GapStarter: 'I wander thro' each charter'd street' with thro' and charter'd correct but 'wonder' for 'wander'; retyped correctly. Blake's full line now inside draft 5 of the comparison paragraph; charter'd read as king owning the street held. Level 3 still, supported.
K6.1Gap → GapOzymandias, because, controlled, different (in draft) all correct today after being flagged yesterday. New slips: 'streat' (second day), 'diffrent'; both corrected after a memory aid, street retyped correctly. Context clause not attempted.
K1Developing → DevelopingDraft 5: both quotations intact inside the paragraph, one angle per poet, 'so' effect for both kings, Blake's line inserted unasked. Remaining: comma splice, 'Which shows' fragment, tense slip. Level 3 supported; no unaided Level 4 instance.
K5Developing → DevelopingWriter as subject held throughout draft 5 and the exit sentence ('Shelley uses', 'Blake shows', 'Shelley's king makes the reader feel'); no evaluative sentence, no 'they', no 'I' (0 faults of those kinds in 1 draft).
