My Last Duchess: both of Tuesday's inferences came cold on the open form, the ending was read and confirmed 2/2 book closed, and the paragraph reached two sentences with the quotation intact. Ran block 24, 10:49-11:34 (45 min); break offered at 11:21, 'back' within the minute. Starter, no notes, 3 items, 10:50-11:00 (10 min against 8 planned): 'the greatest' given as 'king hereafter', right on the third ask (Cawdor on 5 and 6 Oct); witches (plural) and killed spelled right; London first line right bar a lower-case i. Recall, book closed, open form, 2/2 (both from two-way choices on 6 Oct): what annoyed the Duke - 'she treated every gift the same' (1 min); the commands - 'commanded his people to kill the Duchess', offered as her belief (4 min). Ending, last ten lines read in the block: the master's title first given as 'someone connected to the god Neptune', 'the count' when pointed to 'your master'; the Count's daughter right first time. Open question with the cue, why the Duke tells this listener: a what-then-why answer in 2 min with no narrowing, on the listener's importance rather than the warning; the narrower 'what message to the next wife' drew 'treat my gifts with the most importance'. The warning was then stated by the tutor. Confirmation, book closed, 2/2: the visitor reports to the count; 'Browning is showing ... that what happened to the Duchess might happen again'. Paragraph, one sentence per message: quotation copied alone, exact; claim in 3 min with words dropped and 'power' not used; quotation intact inside the second sentence, with 'the Duke could kill someone with a wave of his hands', 7 min on a 2-minute limit. Stopped on the clock before the why sentence. 16 items set, 16 attempted, 0 blank, 0 'I don't know'. Home reading for Monday set at close. Session 76's recall, ending and quotation-in-paragraph are done; the unaided effect sentence and the London context teach are carried forward. Topic evidence is in standalone updates.
BLOCK SHAPE (v24, parent 6 Oct) stands: 8-min starter, 3 cold questions on the home reading; ONE knowledge topic, 12 min; unaided confirmation before the break; paragraph after, cuttable; no first reading in a block; set home reading at the end. HOME READING set 8 Oct: Save My Exams Macbeth plot summary, once, before Monday. MON 12 OCT (#5): 3 cold questions on that summary; teach the plot in 10-12 beats (S1.2); 10 beats written unaided before the break. Macbeth queue after: S1.3, S2.1, S3.1. If Act 1 Sc 3 was read at home, resolve 62 and 72. NEXT POEM BLOCK: FIRST the why sentence of the My Last Duchess paragraph (what the reader thinks of the Duke), one message, 2 min, Browning as subject; then add 'the Duke's power' to sentence one. Starter cold: who the visitor is and who sent him; what the Duke warns the next wife about (told on 8 Oct, not found by her); London first line with capital I. Then London background (Blake, 1790s), 5 min, owed since 29 Sep.
My Last Duchess paragraph: why sentence not written (claim and quotation sentence done), sentence one's dropped words not fixed; the ending not yet recalled cold; London context teach still owed (carried from 29 Sep, sessions 57 and 76).
