What happened

Maintenance slot 15:19-15:40 (21 min by the clock), run in the afternoon against the missed Thursday 11:30 block. Opened on the read-aloud left unconfirmed on 7 Oct: 'Mis amigos critican a mi hermano' said aloud twice, confirmed 'done' at 15:24 (she did not answer which word was hardest, so no sound check). Then the recall round not run since 30 Sep, one word per message, mixed directions, first 4 of 8: 'to fight' -> 'pelearse' with -se and no hint; 'to criticise' -> 'criticar' spelt right cold; 'divorciarse' -> 'to divorse' (meaning right); 'to get on' -> 'congeniar' - a real Spanish word with that meaning but not on the AQA list, so entenderse not recalled. Hint given (built from 'to understand' plus an ending). Time up at 15:35 by the clock; offered five more minutes or a log at 15:37, she said log it. 4 recall items set, 4 attempted, 0 blank, no 'I don't know': 3 right first go, 1 not got. Replies took 2-6 minutes per one-word item. Not asked: llamarse, discutir, parecerse a, el familiar. Not run: personal a items, reflexive items, tia with accent, -ar verb forms. No new content taught. Practice run logged alongside.

Planned next

FIRST: entenderse again ('to get on with someone') - she was told it is built from 'to understand' plus an ending; ask for it, no further hint first. Then the four words not asked, mixed directions: llamarse, discutir, parecerse a, el familiar; slip pelearse and criticar in once as a next-day check. Then personal a: one more hinted item, two fresh unaided sentences with a person as object (visitar, ayudar, conocer are on the list). If time: reflexives (one hinted, two unaided, one with entenderse), tia typed with its accent, and two unaided forms on other -ar verbs. Read-aloud: follow 'done' with one sound question (she skipped 'which word was hardest'). Pace: 2-6 min per one-word reply, so plan 4-5 items per 15-minute slot. She produced 'congeniar' unprompted - she has some Spanish from outside the list; steer to the list word without marking the attempt down.

TopicNameChangeEvidence recorded
T01Developing → Developing8 Oct recall round, first 4 of 8 Set 3 words, 3/4 unaided first go (75%), 8 days after last round (30 Sep): pelearse with -se and no hint (was dropped 23-30 Sep), criticar spelt right cold (was 'criticesar' 6 Oct), divorciarse meaning right; entenderse not recalled ('congeniar' offered - real Spanish, off-list). Read-aloud of the 7 Oct sentence confirmed. Status kept at developing: 75% on 4 items is under the 80% secure bar and half the round is unrun.
