What happened

Maintenance slot in the Tuesday 15:00 block, opened 15:09 (9 min into the block), closed 15:29: 20 min by the clock. Opened on session 98's plan. Maths homework 8 (overdue) named once at the open. Two sentences, cold, one per message, no pattern or hint shown, capital and full stop asked for up front: 'I look like my mother.' -> 'Me parezco a mi madre.' fully right first go at 15:12 (a present; it was missing on 9 and 12 Oct). 'I get on with my brother.' -> 'Me entiendo con mi hermano.' fully right first go, entenderse retrieved with no cue, ie and con hers (12 Oct: 'Me congeniar mis amigos', right only after three hints). That reply arrived at 15:27, 15 minutes after the task was set: not known whether she was away or working. Capitals and full stops right on 2 of 2. Read-aloud of both sentences twice confirmed 'done' at 15:28. ll question asked as its own message (l or y in llama?): 'y', right, answered within a minute. 3 scored items set, 3 attempted, 0 blank, no 'I don't know': 3 right first go. Not run: a reflexive sentence she has never seen before, the mi/tu/su teach (G06, owed since 9 Oct), a v word, any reading. No new content taught. Proposed updates shown at 15:29; she said 'log it'. Practice run 86 logged alongside.

Planned next

FIRST, by minute 5, the new thing owed since 9 Oct and squeezed out on 12 and 13 Oct: mi/tu/su taught properly (G06: one teaching question, two hinted, two unaided). Before it, one cold item only: a reflexive sentence she has NOT seen before, no pattern shown, a she-form on a verb other than llamarse (e.g. pelearse) - G25 went developing 13 Oct on sentences she had met before, so this is the honest check. Read-aloud: ll sound in a different word (not llama), then a v word, each as its own message (asked alone 13 Oct: answered within a minute). Keep stating capital and full stop: 5 of 5 across 12-13 Oct. Pace: replies took 3 and 15 min on 13 Oct, so plan three or four items with a time on each. Still owed: divorciarse as a verb in a sentence. T01 whole Set 3 round not before 2 Nov. No reading yet in the Friday block: pick a stored short text.

What this session changed

TopicNameChangeEvidence recorded
T01Secure → Secure13 Oct, status kept at secure: both open loose ends retrieved inside a sentence, cold, first go, 2/2 - 'Me parezco a mi madre.' (a present; missed 9 and 12 Oct) and 'Me entiendo con mi hermano.' (entenderse with no cue; 'congeniar' used 8 and 12 Oct). Still owed: divorciarse as a verb in a sentence (noun on 12 Oct). Next whole Set 3 round not before 2 Nov.
G25Gap → Developing13 Oct: gap -> developing (taught + confirmed + 2 unaided). Taught 5 Oct 1/1; hinted 5 and 9 Oct 2/2. Unaided, no pattern shown: 12 Oct 'Mi hermano se llama Luis.' 1/1; 13 Oct 2/2, 'Me parezco a mi madre.' and 'Me entiendo con mi hermano.' (ie right a day after told). Three verbs, two days. Caveat: both of today's are I-forms she had met before (9 and 12 Oct) and the second reply took 15 min. Owed: a never-seen reflexive sentence, she-form, not llamarse.
G06Gap → Gap13 Oct: mi right unaided inside two sentences (mi madre, mi hermano). Still never taught as a point, tu/su never asked; status kept at gap. Teach of mi/tu/su owed since 9 Oct, not reached 12 or 13 Oct.
P04Gap → Gap13 Oct: ll in llama asked as its own message - 'y', 1/1, within a minute (12 Oct: not answered when bundled with the read-aloud). Same word as 6 Oct, so ll in a different word is still owed, with ch and enye; never taught. Read-aloud of two sentences twice confirmed 'done'. Status kept at gap.
